Appreciation of Shop

This query is : Resolved 

13 March 2010 An assessee had purchased a shop at Rs. 1,60,000/- in 1998. He didnt use it and the shop was lying idle.

In Dec '09 he got engaged in business and started using the shop when the FMV of shop was Rs. 7,00,000/-.

Now the question is at what price should he disclose the shop in balance sheet? At cost or at Fair Market Value as Notional depreciation cannot be assumed since it was not used earlier for business purpose.

Please guide me?

13 March 2010 Accounts is a factual and historical record of transaction as they occur.The use of the FMV is misplaced.

13 March 2010 in balance sheet cost will be showed. As FMV is not the value you invested. moreover if you will increase asset your reserve will generate and in individual or firm account it is not allowed. So show cost price
