Real Property A was acquired in January of 2020 at P100M. The building's sewerage system was not operating and CLEXA Corporation decided to incur expenditure amounting to P5M to make the sewerage system operational. It also decided to undertake major maintenance on the system at the end of 5 years. The company used the fair market model for this asset and has capitalized the asset at P115M (being the cost of P100M, expenditure of P5M and the present value of the planned expenditure at the end of five years at P10M). Fair value of the property at the end of 2020 and 2021 were at P120M and P140M, respectively.
Real Property B was acquired in June of 2016 at a total acquisition cost of P56M. The property had a 20-year useful life. The carrying value of the property based on its fair value as of December 31, 2020 was at P40M. at the beginning of 2021, the company spent P5M to install a modern upgraded glass roof on the property.

It also enables management to reduce electricity costs. The fair market value of the property as at December 31, 2021 was at P48M.
