Sanza Limited ("Sanza") follows the revaluation basis for its land, which is classified as part of
Property, Plant, and Equipment. Prior to the 30 June 2022 revaluation, the 'Land' account had a
balance of $770,000 and the 'Revaluation surplus' account had a balance of $30,000. Sanza also
had the following account in its general ledger: 'Revaluation expense'. An appraisal suggested the
Land's fair value as at 30 June 2022 was $700,000. Sanza's financial year end balance date is 30
June (ignore GST).
