![567_figure1.jpg](https://secure.expertsmind.com/CMSImages/567_figure1.jpg)
The equipment consisted of two machines, Machine A and Machine B. Machine A had cost
$300 000 and had a carrying amount of $180 000 at 30 June 2019, and Machine B had cost
$200 000 and had a carrying amount of $170 000. Both machines are measured using the cost model, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period.
On 31 December 2019, the directors of Emu Ltd decided to change the basis of measuring the equipment from the cost model to the revaluation model. Machine A was revalued to $180 000 with an expected useful life of 6 years, and Machine B was revalued to $155 000 with an ex- pected useful life of 5 years.
At 1 July 2020, Machine A was assessed to have a fair value of $163 000 with an expected use- ful life of 5 years, and Machine B's fair value was $136 500 with an expected useful life of 4 years.
Required
1. Prepare the journal entries for Machine A for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 on the basis that it was revalued on 31 December 2019.
2. Prepare the journal entries for Machine B for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 on the basis that it was revalued on 31 December 2019.
