Davis Inc. is a large manufacturing company operating in several European countries. Davis has long-lived assets currently in use that are valued on the balance sheet at $600 million. This includes previously recognized impairment losses of $80 million. The original cost of the assets was $750 million. The fair value of the assets was determined by in independent appraisal to be $690 million. Which of the following entries may Davis record under IFRS?
A. $90 million gain on income statement.
B. $90 million revaluation surplus.
C. $80 million gain on income statement and a $10 million revaluation surplus.
solution:C
Under IFRS, firms may choose to report long-lived assets at fair value. Upward revaluations are permitted and will result in a gain recognized on the income statement to the extent it reverses a previously recognized loss. Any excess is reported as a revaluation surplus, a direct adjustment to equity. In this case, the carrying value of the assets is $600 million ($750 million original cost less $70 million accumulated depreciation and less $80 million impairment loss). The fair value is $690 million. Of the $90 million excess of fair value over carrying value, $80 million is recognized as a gain on the income statement to reverse the $80 million impairment loss that was previously recognized. The remaining $10 million is recorded as a revaluation surplus in shareholders' equity.
