Answer:

$325,000

Explanation:

Valuation reserve is the amount added to to an asset to absorb for any future decrease in the value of such asset.

Given:

Real cost of property, plant, and equipment = $5,000,000

Appraised later/future cost = $5,325,000

Valuation reserve= later/future Appraisal cost - Real cost

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

=$325,000
