A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $28 million. Construction costs incurred during the first year were $8 million and estimated costs to complete at the end of the year were $12 million.The building was completed during the second year. Construction costs incurred during the second year were $13 million.How much revenue and gross profit or loss will the company recognize in the first and second year if it recognizes revenue upon contract completion

Answer 1

$3.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue and gross profit or loss which the company identify in the first and second year if it recognizes revenue upon contract completion is calculated below.

Total costs = Incurred costs + estimated costs to complete = $8 million + $12 million = $20 million

Revenue to recognize = $8m/$20m*$28m = $11.2 million

Gross Profit = Revenue recognized less costs incurred

= $11.2m - $8m = $3.2 million
