    SECTION B - CASE 2: BioHarvest Agri

    BioHarvest Agri Co operates commercial vineyards. The year-end is 30 September 20X6.
    BioHarvest uses the revaluation model for its vineyard land. On 1 October 20X4, the land was revalued upwards by $500,000. On 30 September 20X6, due to a change in zoning laws, the land suffered a revaluation deficit of $800,000.

    How should the $800,000 deficit be recorded in the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X6?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Debit Profit or Loss $800,000

    B.

    Debit Other Comprehensive Income $800,000

    C.

    Debit Other Comprehensive Income $500,000; Debit Profit or Loss $300,000

    D.

    Debit Retained Earnings $500,000; Debit Profit or Loss $300,000

    How to approach this question

    Recall the rule for revaluation deficits: a deficit is recognized in P&L, unless there is a credit balance in the revaluation surplus for that specific asset, in which case the deficit is recognized in OCI to the extent of that surplus.

    Full Answer

    C.Debit Other Comprehensive Income $500,000; Debit Profit or Loss $300,000✓ Correct
    Under IAS 16, a revaluation decrease is recognized in profit or loss. However, the decrease shall be recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. The $800k deficit first eliminates the $500k surplus in OCI, and the remaining $300k is expensed in P&L.

    Common mistakes

    Charging the entire amount to P&L or OCI.
