Explanation / Answer

1. Depreciation for 2018 = $ 240,000 / 6 = $ 40,000.

2a. Revised historical cost of the equipment =( Revalued Amount / Current Book Value ) x Cost = [$ 230,000 / ( 240,000 - 40,000) ] x $ 240,000 = $ 276,000.

Revaluation amount = $ 276,000 - $ 240,000 = $ 36,000.

2b.

3. Depreciation for 2019 = Revalued Amount / Remaining Estimated Useful Life = $ 230,000 / 5 = $ 46,000.
