The correct answer is $350,000

Explanation:

Contract price = $4,200,000

Costs incurred  = $1,750,000

Estimated costs to complete = $1,750,000

Progress billings= $900,000

Collections on progress billings= $800,000

Contract price - total estimated cost

$4,200,000 - ($1,750,000 + $1,750,000)

= $4,200,000 - $3,500,000

= $700,000

one-half of the estimated costs of this construction project were incurred

$1,750,000 ÷ ($1,750,000 + $1,750,000)

= $1,750,000 ÷ $3,500,000

= 0.5

In Barr's 20X0 income statement,what amount of gross profit should be reported for this project?

$700,000 x 0.5 = $350,000

$350,000 should be reported as gross profit for the 20X0 income statement.
