Answer 1

$400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage completed:

$600,000/$3,000,000 20%

Hence:

Revenue $5,000,000 x .20 = $1,000,000

Less Costs to date (600,000)

Gross profit$ 400,000

Therefore If Hamilton uses the percentage of completion​ method, the gross profit for this year is: $400,000
