D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.

Answer 1

D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Year 2021:

Percentage of work completed in the year 2021 is

= $40 ÷ ($40 + $84)× 100

= $40 ÷ $124 × 100

= 32.26%

Profit on the contract is

= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost

= $162 - $40 - $84

= $38

Profit to be recognized in the year 2016 is

= profit × percentage of completion

= $38 × 32.26%

= $12.256

For Year 2022:

Percentage of work completed in the year 2017 is

= ($40 + $65) ÷ ($40 + $65 + $52)

= $105 ÷ $157 × 100

= 66.88%

Profit on the contract is

= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost

= $162 - $40 - $65 - $52

= $5

Profit that should be recognized till the year 2017 is

= profit × percentage of completion

= $5 × 66.88%

= $3.344

Profit to be recognized in the year 2017 is

= $3.344 - $12.256

= 8.91 million loss
