RoyCo acquired a brand new property (land and buildings) on 1 January 2016 for GH¢40 million (including GH¢15 million in respect of the land). The asset was revalued on 31 December 2017 to GH¢43 million (including GH¢16.6 million in respect of the land). The buildings element was depreciated over a 50-year useful life to a zero residual value. The useful life and residual value did not subsequently need revision. On 31 December 2018 the property was revalued downwards to GH¢35 million as a result of the recession (including GH¢14 million in respect of the land).
The company makes a transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings in respect of realised profit.
