Accumulated amortisation is eliminated and the property is restated to the revalued amount. Annual amortisation is calculated on the carrying values at the beginning of the year. The market values of the property on 30 September 20X1 and 20X2 were $231,000 and $175,000 respectively. The existing balance on the revaluation surplus at 1 October 20X0 was $50,000.
