Question

Bergeron is a local manufacturer of off-shore drilling platforms. In 2020, Bergeron entered into a contract to construct a drilling platform, which will be placed in the North Atlantic Ocean. The total contract price is $5,000,000, and Bergeron estimates the total construction cost at $2,000,000. Actual costs incurred in 2020 are $600,000. If Bergeron uses the completed contract method, the gross profit for 2020 is

Answer 1

$900,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the percentage completed

= 600,000/2,000,000

= 0.3

The revenue can be calculated as follows

= 5,000,000 × 0.3

= 1,500,000

Therefore the gross profit for 2020 can be calculated as follows

=1,500,000 -600,000

= $900,000
