Explanation
Revaluation account entries and closing for asset changes
Steps:
- Credit side of revaluation account records gains, such as increases in non-current asset values (Dr Asset, Cr Revaluation).
- Thus, a credit entry means asset value has risen, not fallen: statement 1 false.
- Debit side records losses, like decreases in asset values (Dr Revaluation, Cr Asset).
- If net profit (credit balance), close by Dr Revaluation, Cr Partners' capitals: credit entry to capitals indicates profit, statement 2 true.
Why A is correct:
- A identifies statement 1 as false (credit side for gains, per standard partnership revaluation entries) and 2 as true (closing profit requires crediting capitals).
Why the others are wrong:
- B incorrectly deems statement 2 false, ignoring credit to capitals in profit closure.
- C incorrectly deems statement 1 true, as credit side signals asset rise, not fall.
- D deems both true, contradicting credit side meaning.
Final answer: A
