Florry Ltd is a large Irish company which manufactures and supplies specialised electrical products to the European market. Florry Ltd also provides support services to its customers through online platforms.

It is January 2022 and Florry Ltd is currently drafting its financial statements for the year ended, 31 December 2021. The Finance Director is seeking a report which provides details on the accounting treatment behind a number of accounting items which are relevant to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.

Below are the details on the items:

Item 1: Property Revaluation

At the start of the year, 1 January 2021, Florry Ltd decided to change its accounting policy from the cost model to the revaluation model. At this date, independent valuers valued the companys property at 1,250,000, the revaluation included 350,000 relating to the land element of the property. The Property had cost 750,000 8 years ago of which 100,000 related to the land element. Company policy is to depreciate property over a 20-year useful economic life, and this is not expected to change as a result of the revaluation.

Item 2: Revenue

On 30 June, Florry Ltd sold one of its specialised electrical products to a customer at a price of 50,000. The sale included a 12-month online support service for the product commencing 1 July.
