Thanks for invitation

Using the revaluation model the land will be recorded as follows:

DEBIT. Land value(statement of financial position)                       $ 99000

CREDIT. Revaluation surplus account                                                                     $99000

This is to record the surplus on revaluation.

The land will be shown at its market value of $100000 in the statement of financial position under non current assets and the revaluation surplus will appear under equity.

No depreciation will apply on land. land is not a diminishing asset
