Notes

Percentage Complete = Cost Incurred to date / Estimated cost to complete

Gross Profit calculation:

Gross Profit = (Contract Price*Percentage complete) - Revenue previously recognized

Year 2014

10% completed

Revenue recognized = 10% * $ 3,900 = $390.

Year 2015

60% completed

Revenue recognized = 60% * $ 3,900 - $390 (previously recognized) = $1,950.

Year 2016

100% completed.

Revenue recognized = 100% x $3,900 - $390 - $1,950 (previously recognized) = $1,560.
