Answer:

$46,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find out the the revaluation gain that need to be reported at the year end by just deducting the the cost of the investment by its current fair value .

DATA

Fair value = 588,000

Cost = 542,000

Revaluation gain = Current fair value - Cost

Revaluation gain = 588,000 - 542,000

Revaluation gain = $46,000

The revaluation gain of $46,000 will be reported in other compreensive income of smith's financial statements.
