Find Revaluation Profit/Loss

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Compare each revalued figure with its book value. Patents fall from 11,00011,000 to 8,0008,000, a loss of 3,0003,000. Machinery falls from 30,00030,000 to 28,00028,000, a loss of 2,0002,000. Buildings rise from 20,00020,000 to 25,00025,000, a gain of 5,0005,000.

Total losses =5,000= 5,000 and total gain =5,000= 5,000, so the Revaluation Account balances exactly. There is no profit and no loss.
