Warehouse:
On the 1 September 2020, FHL purchased a warehouse at the airport to store packages before
they are transported.
The cost of the warehouse is as follows:
Purchase Price R17 000 000
Transfer Fees R 550 000
Installation of Shelving R 250 000
Staff Training R 75 000
The warehouse has a useful life of 30 years. Management’s policy is to revalue the warehouse
every two years from the date of purchase.
The entity adopts the net replacement value method for revaluations. The Financial Director is of
the opinion that this method “minimises the impact on profits more than the gross replacement
value” method.
On the 2nd anniversary of the purchase of the warehouse, an independent valuator who is
competent and is an industry expert in valuing warehouses of this nature and has determined the
fair value of the warehouse to be R18 000 000.
The Financial Director has also approved a policy that the revaluation surplus may be transferred
to retained earnings as the asset is used.
