Journal Entry

December 31, 2X12

Dr. Land Account 50,000 pounds

Cr. Appreciation on Land 50,000 pounds

Explanation:

As Land is recorded at the value of $50,000 and it is needed to be appreciated on December 31,2X12.

The appreciation will increase the value of the land so the land account will be debited as it is a fixed asset account that has debit nature.

On the other hand, the appreciation on the land account will be credit because it is an unrecognized income/gain account that will be reported as other comprehensive income.

Adjustment = Appreciated Value - Carrying Value = 100,000 pounds - 50,000 pounds = 50,000 pounds

Note: As depreciation is not applicable on the land so, the carrying value on December 31, 2X10 will be the same on December 31,2X12 before adjustment.
