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
