Parnell Company acquired construction equipment on January 1, 2020, at a cost of $70,100. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of six years and a residual value of $14,000 and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2021, the equipment was appraised and determined to have a fair value of $64,600, a salvage value of $14,000, and a remaining useful life of five years. In measuring property, plant, and equipment subsequent to acquisition under IFRS, Parnell would opt to use the revaluation model in IAS 16. Assume that Parnell Company is a U.S.-based company that is issuing securities to foreign investors who require financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Thus, adjustments to convert from U.S. GAAP to IFRS must be made. Ignore income taxes. 1) Record the entry for recording profit on revaluation of equipment due to conversion from U.S. GAAP to IFRS. 2) Record the entry for additional depreciation expense on revaluation of equipment due to conversion from U.S. GAAP to IFRS.
