Accounting for land and buildings under IFRS
Assume the following. Queensland Company purchased a parcel of land on January 1. 2006. for $400,000. It constructed a building on the land at a cost of $2,000,000. The building was occupied on January 1, 2009, and is expected to have a useful life of 40 years and an estimated salvage value of $600,000.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the fair value of the land had not been formally revalued because the real estate market had not changed significantly. Due to a jump in real estate prices, during 2012 the value of the land had increased to $450,000, and the fair value of the building was $2,000,000. The salvage value of the building is still estimated at $600,000. The value of the building was not reevaluated by the company in 2012.
