|
Initial
recognition --> Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost. |
|
Measurement after recognition --> choose one of the following models: (1) cost model (2) revaluation model |
|
Cost model --> carrying amount = cost - accumulated depreciation - accumulated impairment losses |
|
Revaluation model --> carrying amount = revalued amount |
|
Revalued
amount = fair value at the date of revaluation - subsequent accumulated depreciation - subsequent accumulated impairment losses |
|
If
carrying amount is increased due to revaluation --> such increase is recognized in other comprehensive income --> such increase is accumulated in equity --> "revaluation surplus" |
|
If
carrying amount is decreased due to revaluation --> such decrease reduces revaluation surplus (of that asset), first
After revaluation surplus (of that asset) is
reduced to zero--> such decrease is recognized in profit or loss |
|
When an
asset is derecognised --> revaluation surplus (of that asset) --> is transferred to retained earnings |
