Answer 1

C. 8,690,000 in the stockholders' equity section of the Balance Sheet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the valuation reserve reported is shown below:

Given yhat

Valuation reserve reported at the starting year is $8,365,000

Now the upward revaluation amount is

= $5,325,000 - $5,000,000

= $325,000

Now the closing balance of the valuation reserve is

= $8,365,000 + $325,000

= $8,690,000

Hence, the correct option is c.

The same is to be reported in the equity section
