To Asset A/c (Individually)
(Being adjustment made for the decrease in the value of asset)
(c) For increase in the value of Liability:
Revaluation A/c Dr.
To Liability A/c (Individually)
(Being adjustment made for the increase in the value of liability)
(d) For decrease in the value of Liability:

Step 3: Calculation of Proportionate Amount of Net Effect of Revaluation:

Particulars A (₹) B (₹) C (₹)
(1) Old Ratio ××× ××× ×××
(2) New Ratio ××× ××× ×××
Sacrifice/(Gain) (i – ii) ××× ××× ×××
