IAS 16, Property, Plant, and Equipment, requires assets to be initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets may be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, or they can be periodically revalued upward to current value and carried at the revalued amount less accumulated depreciation. If revalued, the adjustment is reported in other comprehensive income. Subsequent depreciation is based on the revalued amount. ASPE does not allow assets to be revalued at an amount exceeding historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

ABC Ltd., a private company, can report in accordance with either ASPE or IFRS. On January 1, Year 1, it acquired an asset at a cost of $10.8 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 24 years. On January 1, Year 3, the company hired an appraiser, who determined the fair value of the asset (net of accumulated depreciation) to be $12.1 million. The estimated useful life of the asset did not change. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions of dollars.
