It was provided at the time of admission that the Machinery was undervalued by 10%. Show its impact on Revaluation A/c?

Options:

Revaluation A/c is debited by ₹15,000

Revaluation A/c is debited by ₹13,500

Revaluation A/c is credited by ₹15,000

Revaluation A/c is credited by ₹13,500

Correct Answer:

Revaluation A/c is credited by ₹15,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Revaluation A/c is credited by ₹15,000.

Book value of machinery = 1,35,000
Undervalued = 10%.
Real value = 1,35,000 x 100/90
                  = 1,50,000

Undervaluation amount = 1,50,000 - 1,35,000
                                      = 15,000

As machinery is undervalued so it is gain for the firm. Revaluation is credited with the gain value of 15,000.
