Introduction
If you’re studying ACCA F3/FA (FFA), Chapter 7 - Non-Current Assets: Disposal and Revaluation is an important continuation of the previous chapter on acquisition and depreciation.
In this lesson, we provide a simple Nepali summary of the key concepts you need for exams, based on the Kaplan Study Text.
📚 What is Disposal of a Non-Current Asset?
Disposal occurs when a business sells, exchanges, scraps, or permanently removes an asset from use.
Before calculating the gain or loss on disposal, the business must:
- Calculate depreciation up to the disposal date
- Determine the asset’s carrying amount
- Compare the carrying amount with disposal proceeds
📊 Profit or Loss on Disposal
When an asset is sold:
Profit on Disposal
- Sale proceeds are greater than carrying amount
Loss on Disposal
- Sale proceeds are less than carrying amount
This profit or loss is reported in the statement of profit or loss.
🏗️ What is Revaluation?
Revaluation is the process of adjusting an asset’s carrying amount to its fair value.
Businesses may revalue assets when their market value differs significantly from their book value.
The objective is to present more relevant and reliable financial information.
📈 Revaluation Increase
When the asset’s value increases:
- Asset value increases
- Revaluation surplus is created
- The surplus is recorded in equity
📉 Revaluation Decrease
When the asset’s value decreases:
- Asset value decreases
- A loss may be recognized in profit or loss
- Previous revaluation surpluses may be used where applicable
⚠️ Common Exam Mistakes
Students often make mistakes by:
- Forgetting to charge depreciation before disposal
- Calculating carrying amount incorrectly
- Mixing up disposal proceeds and carrying value
- Confusing revaluation surplus with profit
- Posting revaluation entries incorrectly
