Methodology:
Revaluation Adjustment:
Fixed assets are shown in the balance sheet at
their values to the business. The value to the
business of an asset refers to the opportunity loss
to the business if were deprived of such assets. In
this context, it is pertinent to understand the
gross and net replacement costs. The gross
replacement cost of an asset is the cost to be
incurred at the date of valuation to obtain a
similar asset for replacement.
Depreciation Adjustment:
The profit and loss account should be charged for
depreciation with an amount equal to the value of
fixed assets consumed during the period. When
the fixed assets are valued on the basis of their
net current replacement cost, the depreciation
charge should be based on such cost. The
depreciation charge may be computed either on
the basis of total replacement cost of the asset or
on average net current cost of assets.
