【参考答案及解析】
the 5 years to 31 December 20X5, accumulated depreciation on the building is $1,600,000 x 2% x 5 years = $160,000. On revaluation on 1 January 20X6： Debit Credit $ $Building (2,250,000 - 1,600,000) 650,000 Accumulated depreciation 160,000 Revaluation surplus 810,000The annual depreciation charge from 1 January 20X6 = $2,250,000/45 years remaining = $50,000. This is $18,000 more than the annual depreciation charge based on the historical cost of the asset.This excess depreciation charge is transferred each year from revaluation surplus to retained earnings, and the revaluation surplus at 31 December 20X6 = $810,000 - $18,000 = $792,000.
