How much gross profit or loss will Franklin recognize in the first year applying the completed contract method? (Enter your answer in millions.)
1. Percentage of Completion Method
Total costs = Incurred costs + Estimated costs to complete = $ 28m + $19m =
= $47m
Revenue to recognise = ( $ 28m / $ 47m x $ 38m) Less foreseeable
losses of $ 9m
Net revenue to be recognised = $ 13.64m
Less : costs incurred
(
$ 28m )
Gross Loss = $ 14.36m
2. Completed Contract
Method
No revenue will be recognised, but foreseeable losses of $9m is
recognised, so you will have a Gross Loss of $ 9m for this
period.
