Option C : Realisable value

 

This question is not correct. what do u mean by the term market value of the machine (a) sale value of old machine or (b) purchase price of a similar new machine.

^^ He meant "sale value of old machine : Realisable Value" 

"if book value of machinery is 10 lakhs on 31st March 2010 and market value on the same date is 11 lakhs and company shows machinery at 11 lakhs"

 

In Normal situation we don't prefer this re-valuation method I.e Realisable Value If an concern takes such revaluation of assets he will have to create h revaluation reserve acount
Agree with jaykumar ji

Guys ! It is just a CPT Question on the valuation principles . wink

Don't go to the Accounting Standards. Let him clear the CPT first. 

Thats wrong when u do such treatment only when there is a threat to co. Going coancern assumption...then only assets are reevalued at realisable valu

you have adopted the principle of Relisable Value.

 

If you sold the machine then show realisable value. Or otherwise show only historical value

Only historical value to be followed, otherwise sufficient case of reveluation needed for the assets. the value must have a evidence for resale or value of the same machine in the market. that time only the revaluation reserve must be created, but the expenses will not be debite in the profit and loss account. it is not a matter cpt or final or b.com, accounting treatment is same for all.

This is why we CA students take multiple attempts to clear the exams. I am also culprit of the same crime.

Those who are giving long explanations are going too far.

Questions say " This has been done" Whether right or wrong, please tell which method has been followed.

Every IPCC, Final student know what will be the right valuation method.But sadly, question does not ask that.

Again, it simply says, This has been done, Tell, What valuation method followed.

 

So, answer  remains (c) Realisable Value

 

To prove the point, here is ICAI , CPT Accounts,Study material Chapter 1.

Please go to page 74-75, Question 1( iii), and check the answer yourself.
