Citation Builders, Inc., builds office buildings and single-family
homes. The office buildings are constructed under contract with
reputable buyers. The homes are constructed in developments ranging
from 10–20 homes and are typically sold during construction or soon
after. To secure the home upon completion, buyers must pay a
deposit of 10% of the price of the home with the remaining balance
due upon completion of the house and transfer of title. Failure to
pay the full amount results in forfeiture of the down payment.
Occasionally, homes remain unsold for as long as three months after
construction. In these situations, sales price reductions are used
to promote the sale.
During 2018, Citation began construction of an office building for
Altamont Corporation. The total contract price is $29 million.
Costs incurred, estimated costs to complete at year-end, billings,
and cash collections for the life of the contract are as
follows:
| 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | |||||||||
| Costs incurred during the year | $ | 5,800,000 | $ | 13,775,000 | $ | 6,525,000 | |||||
| Estimated costs to complete as of year-end | 17,400,000 | 6,525,000 | — | ||||||||
| Billings during the year | 2,900,000 | 14,500,000 | 11,600,000 | ||||||||
| Cash collections during the year | 2,610,000 | 13,190,000 | 13,200,000 | ||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||
Also during 2018, Citation began a development consisting of 12
identical homes. Citation estimated that each home will sell for
$980,000, but individual sales prices are negotiated with buyers.
Deposits were received for eight of the homes, three of which were
completed during 2018 and paid for in full for $980,000 each by the
buyers. The completed homes cost $735,000 each to construct. The
construction costs incurred during 2018 for the nine uncompleted
homes totaled $4,410,000.
Required:
1. Which method is most equivalent to recognizing revenue
at the point of delivery?
2. Answer the following questions assuming that Citation
uses the completed contract method for its office building
contracts:
2-a. How much revenue related to this contract will
Citation report in its 2018 and 2019 income statements?
2-b. What is the amount of gross profit or loss to be
recognized for the Altamont contract during 2018 and 2019?
2-c. What will Citation report in its December 31, 2018,
balance sheet related to this contract? (Ignore cash.)
3. Answer the following questions assuming that Citation
uses the percentage-of-completion method for its office building
contracts.
3-a. How much revenue related to this contract will
Citation report in its 2018 and 2019 income statements?
3-b. What is the amount of gross profit or loss to be
recognized for the Altamont contract during 2018 and 2019?
3-c. What will Citation report in its December 31, 2018,
balance sheet related to this contract? (Ignore cash.)
4. Assume the same information for 2018 and 2019, but that
as of year-end 2019 the estimated cost to complete the office
building is $13,050,000. Citation uses the percentage-of-completion
method for its office building contracts.
4-a. How much revenue related to this contract will
Citation report in the 2019 income statement?
4-b. What is the amount of gross profit or loss to be
recognized for the Altamont contract during 2019?
4-c. What will Citation report in its 2019 balance sheet
related to this contract? (Ignore cash.)
