Revaluation surplus refers to the increase in the value of an asset that occurs when it is revalued to reflect its fair market value, which is higher than its carrying amount. This surplus is recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet and represents an unrealized gain that has not yet been realized through a sale. It plays a crucial role in reflecting changes in asset values and impacts both the statement of changes in equity and asset valuation adjustments.
