Answer 1

	Calculation of the amount of revenue and gross profit to be recognized in each of the three years.
1	For 2018:
	Estimated Contract revenue :		10,000,000
	Estimated contract costs:
	Cost Incurred during the year	2,604,000
	Estimated cost to complete at year end	5,796,000	8,400,000
	Estimated Gross margin		1,600,000
	Measure extent of progress toward completion using cost-to-cost method (in %)
			31%
	(cost inccured till date -2,604,000/Estimated contract cost-8,4,00,000 )
	Total amount of revenue that can be recognized for 2018
	(Total estimated revenue-10,000,000 x Estimated Completed percentage- 31%)		3,100,000
	Gross Profit
	(revenue recognised in 2018 3,100,000 - Cost incurred during the year 2,604,000 )		496,000
2	For 2019:
	Estimated Contract revenue :		10,000,000
	Estimated contract costs:
	Cost Incurred during the year 2018	2,604,000
	Cost Incurred during the year 2019	4,032,000
	Estimated cost to complete at year end	1,764,000	8,400,000
	Estimated Gross margin		1,600,000
	Measure extent of progress toward completion using cost-to-cost method (in %)
			79%
	(cost inccured till date - 2,604,000+4032000/Estimated contract cost-8400000 )
	Total amount of revenue that can be recognized for 2019
	(Total estimated revenue-10,000,000 x Estimated Completed percentage- 79%)	7,900,000
	Less: Revenue recognised for the year 2018	(3,100,000)	4,800,000
	Gross Profit
	(revenue recognised in 2019 4,800,000 - Cost incurred during the year 4,032,000 )		768,000
3	For 2020:
	Total amount of revenue that can be recognized for 2020

	Total Cost Inccured during the year		1,940,400
	Gross Profit
	(revenue recognised in 2020 2,100,000 - Cost incurred during the year 1,940,400 )		159,600
