    Hi
    Buildings cost 450,000 less depreciation 45,000 = 405,000. Revalued to 500,000. Change in revaluation reserve = +95,000
    Land cost 840,000 less depreciation 0 = 840,000. Revalued to 1,000,000. Change in revaluation reserve = +160,000
    Total change + 255,000
    Starting reverve = 240,000
    Closing reserve = 495,000
