Capital Work In Progress
• The issue of capital work in progress arises when
construction of a Fixed Asset asset is not complete at the
time of preparing the balance sheet.
• Since the asset is not complete therefore it can not be
classified in fixed assets
• Also no depreciation is charged as the asset is not in use
and we had said that Depreciation is a Charge for the Use
of the asset.
• Therefore the Costs Incurred to the date of the Balance
Sheet Date on the construction of that incomplete asset are
accumulated in an account called Capital Work In Progress.
• The Journal Entries are as follows:

Capital Work In Progress Journal Entries
• At the time of Payment for the construction:
Debit Capital Work In Progress Account
Credit Cash / Bank / Payable
• At the time when the asset is completed and put in use
Debit Fixed Assets (relevant account)
Credit Capital Work in Progress Account
• Balance in the Capital Work in Progress Account therefore
becomes ZERO when the asset is completed and its use is
started.
• REMEMBER no depreciation is charged on capital work in
progress.
• Capital Work in Progress is presented after Fixed Assets
and before other long term assets in Balance Sheet.
• Its presentation in balance sheet is shown in the following

Revaluation of Fixed Assets
• Revaluing means “Valuing Again”. This means that the
Revaluation of something is required when we think that the
value shown in Balance Sheet is does not represent its real
worth.
• Take the example of Land. A company may use a piece of
land on which its factory or office is built for many years.
This period can extend to ten, fifteen, twenty years or even
more.
• You know that the value of land is almost always on the rise.
So at some time the company may think that the land is not
being shown at its real worth in the accounts.
• Same can be the case with other assets like Building,
Machinery etc.

Revaluation of Fixed Assets
• Therefore the need of revaluation arises to show the fixed
assets of the company at their fair market value and once
the fixed assets are stated at revalued amount then the
exercise of revaluation has to carried out at regular
intervals.
• This means that you cannot use this to get results of your
choice i.e. getting the assets revalued when the market
values are high but not doing it again when the market
values drop or vice versa. Again once you state the
balances at revalued amount the revaluation has to be
carried out at regular intervals.

Revaluation of Fixed Assets
• Loss/Gain on Revaluation:
Loss on revaluation (fair market value < book value) is
charged to profit and loss account immediately
Gain on revaluation (fair market value > book value) is
credited to revaluation reserve account
Gain or surplus on revaluation of fixed assets are shown
