On December 1, 20xo, AKE Pte Ltd paid S5,000 to a Real Estate consulting company for a market report of the property market. The market survey was favourable and AKE Pte Ltd decided to make an entry into the property market. On January 1, 20X1 the company purchased two buildings paying $800,000 for Building X and S1,200,000 for Building Y. The company paid S20,000 to the property agent and incurred an additional 80,000 legal fee to finalise the transaction. Both buildings have useful life of 40 years and zero residual value. The company uses straight- line method for depreciation of all its non-current assets. The company intends to use Building X as their office and rent out Building Y. The company adopts revaluation model for its PPE and fair value model for its investment property. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation will be eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
