Calculate the amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years assuming the following costs incurred and costs to complete information.

Answer 1

Calculation of the amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years:

2018
Cost incurred to date $ 2,580,000
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 6,020,000
= Estimated total costs $8,600,000

% of completion = $ 2,580,000/ $8,600,000 = 30%

Revenue to be recognized = $10m x 30% = $3,000,000
- Cost incurred $ 2,580,000
= Gross profit $420,000

2019
Cost incurred to date $6,622,000
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 1,978,000
= Estimated total costs $8,600,000

% of completion = $6,622,000 / $8,600,000 = 77%

Revenue to be recognized to date = $10m x 77% = $7,700,000, but you already recognized $3m in 2018, so that leaves $4,700,000 to be recognized in 2019
Revenue to be recognized in 2019 $4,700,000
- Cost incurred in 2019 $ 4,042,000
= Gross profit $658,000

2020
Cost incurred to date $8,797,800
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 0
= Estimated total costs $8,797,800

% of completion = 100%

Revenue to be recognized to date = $10m x 100% = $10,000,000, but you already recognized $3m in 2018, and $4,700,000 in 2019, so that leaves $2,300,000 to be recognized in 2020

Revenue to be recognized in 2020 $2,300,000
- Cost incurred in 2020 $ 2,175,800
= Gross profit $124,200
