MEMORANDUM REVALUATION ACCOUNT FORMAT

MEMORANDUM REVALUATION ACCOUNT

Memorandum Revaluation Account is prepared in case when partners do not want to alter or revise the value of assets and liabilities. It is a Nominal Account. The Memorandum Revaluation Account Format consist of two parts:

FIRST PART: In this part, the increase in assets and decrease in liabilities is shown at the Credit side. Similarly, the increase in Liabilities and decrease in the Assets are shown at the debit side. The net effect whether it is profit or loss is distributed to the old partners in their old ratio.

SECOND PART: In this part, the increase in assets and decrease in liabilities is shown at the Debit side and increase in liabilities and decrease in assets are shown at the Credit side of this account. The net effect whether is it profit or loss is distributed to the all partners in the new ratio.

The reason behind this is that the reverse entries are done to restore the old figures of assets and liabilities. It is done at the admission of the partner so that the new partner will also participate in restoring the old figures.
