Pirtucon Co. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $44,000. If market demand is strong, Pirtucon Co. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $28,500 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $1,500 per year. The company thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak.

If the company uses a project cost of capital of 14%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project?

-$9,176

-$11,011

-$7,341

-$8,717

Pirtucon Co. has the option to delay starting this project for one year so that analysts can gather more information about whether demand will be strong or weak. If the company chooses to delay the project, it will have to give up a year of cash flows, because the project will then be only a two-year project. However, the company will know for certain if the market demand will be strong or weak before deciding to invest in it.

What will be the expected NPV if Pirtucon Co. delays starting the project?

$22,167

$1,092

$2,570

$1,285

What is the value of Pirtucon Co.’s option to delay the start of the project?     

Fluor Enterprise is considering a 3-year project with an initial cost of $336,000. The project will not directly produce any sales but will reduce operating costs by $150,000 a year. The equipment is classified as MACRS 7-year property. The MACRS table values are .1429, .2449, .1749, .1249, .0893, .0892, .0893, and .0446 for Years 1 to 8, respectively.

Julia is a 18 year-old student at a local community college. On several occasions in the past 6 months she has experienced sudden, absolute, overwhelming anxiety. During these episodes, her heart pounds, she trembles, her mouth gets dry, and it feels as if the walls are caving in. The feelings only last a few minutes but, when they occur, the only thing that seems to relieve her fear is walking around her apartment and reminding herself that she is in control. She won't ride in cars now, unless she is driving, so she is sure that she can stop if necessary. She will only go to class if she can find an aisle seat in the back row so that she can leave quietly should she have another attack.

On January 1, Year 1, a contractor agrees to build on the customer’s land a bridge that is expected to be completed at the end of Year 3. The bridge is a single performance obligation to be satisfied over time. The contractor determines that the progress toward completion of the bridge is reasonably measurable using the input method based on costs incurred. The contract price is $4,000,000, and initial expected total costs of the project are $2,400,000.

^ this is the question form the professor and I did the answers for year 1-2-3 :

Year 1
By the end of Year 1, 25% [$600,000 ÷ ($600,000 + $1,800,000)] of the total expected costs have been incurred. Using the input method based on costs incurred, the contractor recognizes 25% of the total expected revenue ($4,000,000 contract price × 25% ) = $1,000,000 and cost of goods sold $2,400,000.× 25%) = $600,000. The difference between these amounts is the gross profit for Year 1.

Revenue $1,000,000, Cost of goods sold $600,000 , Gross profit (1,000,000 – 600,000) =$400,000. The gross profit in Year 1 of $400,000 also may be calculated as total expected gross profit from the project of $1,600,000 ($4,000,000 - $2,400,000) times the progress toward completion of the contract of 25%.

Year 2
By the end of Year 2, total costs incurred are $1,800,000 ($600,000+ $1,200,000). Given that $1,200,000 is expected to be incurred in the future, the total expected cost is $3,000,000 ($1,800,000 + $1,200,000). The change in the total cost of the contract must be accounted for prospectively. By the end of Year 2, 60% ($1,800,000 ÷ $3,000,000) of expected costs have been incurred.
Thus, $2,400,000 ($4,000,000 × 60%) of cumulative revenue and $1,800,000 ($ 3,000,000 × 60%) of cumulative cost of goods sold should be recognized for Years 1 and 2.
Because $1,000,000 of revenue and $600,000 of cost of goods sold were recognized in Year 1, revenue of $1,400,000 ($2,400,000 cumulative revenue - $1,000,000) and cost of goods sold of $1,200,000 ($1,800,000 cumulative cost of goods sold - $600,000) are recognized in Year 2.
Revenue
$1,400,000
Cost of goods sold
1,200,000
Gross profit -- Year 2
$200,000*
* The gross profit in Year 2 of $200,000 also may be calculated as the cumulative gross profit for Years 1 and 2 of $600,000 [($4,000,000 - $3,000,000) × 60%] minus the gross profit recognized in Year 1 of $400,000.

Year 3
At the end of Year 3, the project is completed, and the total costs incurred for the contract are $2,900,000 ($600,000 + $1,200,000 + $1,100,000). Given $2,400,000 of cumulative revenue and $1,800,000 of cumulative cost of goods sold for Years 1 and 2, $1,600,000 ($4,000,000 contract price - $2,400,000) of revenue and $1,100,000 ($2,900,000 total costs - $1,800,000) of cost of goods sold are recognized in Year 3.

Revenue
$1,600,000
Cost of goods sold
1,100,000
Gross profit -- Year 3
$500,000
NOTE: (1) The total gross profit from the project of $550,000 ($400,000 + $200,000 + $500,000) equals the contract price of $4,000,000 minus the total costs incurred of $2,900,000. (2) When progress toward completion is measured using the cost-to-cost method, as in the example above, the cost of goods sold recognized for the period equals the costs incurred during that period.

NOW : I need the answer for this question:

An entity may not be able to estimate the degree of completion of a project at the end of the first year, perhaps because this is the first time such a project has been undertaken by the firm. In that case, how much revenue would the firm recognize in that year if significant costs have been incurred in the construction process?
