However, for investment property, Ind AS 40 states that an entity shall adopt as its accounting policy
the cost model to all of its investment property. Ind AS 40 also requires that an entity shall disclose the
fair value of investment property.
Since property 1 and 2 are used as factory buildings, they should be classified under same category or
class i.e. ―Factory building‖. Therefore, both the properties should be valued either at cost model or
revaluation model.
Hence, the valuation model adopted by Stars Ltd. is not consistent and correct as per Ind AS 16.
In respect to property 3 being classified as Investment Property, there is no alternative of revaluation
model i.e. only cost model is permitted for subsequent measurement. However, Stars Ltd. is required to
disclose the fair value of the investment property in the Notes to Accounts.
(iii) For changes in value on account of revaluation and treatment thereof
Ind AS 16 states that if an asset‖s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase
shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading
―revaluation surplus‖. However, the increase shall be recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it
reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Accordingly, the
revaluation gain shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the
heading of revaluation surplus.
(iv) For treatment of depreciation
Ind AS 16 states that depreciation is recognised even if the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying
amount, as long as the asset‖s residual value does not exceed its carrying amount. Accordingly, Stars Ltd.
is required to depreciate these properties irrespective of the fact that their fair value exceeds the
carrying amount.
(v) Rectified presentation in the balance sheet
As per the provisions of Ind AS 1, Ind AS 16 and Ind AS 40, the presentation of these three properties in
the balance sheet should be as follows:
Case 1: If Stars Ltd. has applied the Cost Model to an entire class of property, plant and equipment.
