A company began work in 2020 on a contract for $7,800. Other data are as follows:
2020 2021
Costs incurred to date $3,000 $5,600
Estimated costs to complete 2,000 —
Billings to date 4,400 7,800
Collections to date 2,000 4,800
If the company uses the percentage-of-completion method, for the journal entry that records construction revenue, construction expense, and gross profit for 2020, how much will be recorded for Construction in Process?

| A Company | |||
| Particulars | 2020 | 2021 | Note |
| Contract Price | 7,800 | 7,800 | A |
| Cost Incurred during the year | 3,000 | 2,600 | C |
| Cost Incurred to date | 3,000 | 5,600 | |
| Estimated cost to complete | 2,800 | D | |
| Estimated total cost | 5,800 | 5,600 | E=C+B |
| (Cost Incurred to date+ Estimated cost to complete ) | |||
| Percentage complete | 51.72% | 100.00% | F=B/E |
| (Cost Incurred to date/Estimated total cost) | |||
| Revenue to be recognized | 4,034 | 3,766 | G |
| Gross Profit/(Loss) | 1,034 | 1,166 | H=G-C |
| Calculation of revenue to be recognized |
| (Contract Price*Percentage complete)- revenue previously recognized |
| Year 2020: 51.72% completed. Revenue recognized = 51.72% x $ 7,800 = $ 4,034. |
| So Construction in Process recorded will be revenue to be recognized i.e. $ 4,034. |
