Explanation -

1. here stock is reduced by 2000rs. when revalued. therefore, it is a loss for the firm, hence recorded in the dr. side of revaluation a/c.

2. there is an unrecorded liability hence it is a loss for the firm and the liability is increasing so it is debited to revaluation a/c.

3. there is an investment of ₹70,000 which is to be recorded. so we treat it as an unrecorded asset. therefore the amount of asset is increasing, hence it will be credited to revaluation a/c as it is a gain for the firm.
