Answer:

The appropriated answer will be "$1,700,000".

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue understood by completion percentage = Design balance throughout progress = $200,000

The percentage completion throughout the whole year will be:


(200,000)/(2,000,000 )


10 \ percent

The cost incurred throughout the whole year will be:


Revenue \ recognized - Income \ on \ the \ contract


200,000 - 30,000


170,000 ($)

Now,

The total estimated cost of the project at the end the year 2021 will be:


(170,000)/(10 \ percent)


1,700,000 ($)
