Explanation / Answer

Solution.

Calculate the amount of gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years
2013
Cost incurred todate $3,600,000
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 5,400,000
= Estimated total costs $9,000,000

% of completion = $3,600,000 / $9,000,000 = 40%

Revenue to be recognised = $10m x 40% = $4,000,000
- Cost incurred $3,600,000
= Gross profit $400,000

2014
Cost incurred to date $7,650,000
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 1,350,000
= Estimated total costs $9,000,000

% of completion = $7,650,000 / $9,000,000 = 85%

Revenue to be recognised todate = $10m x 85% = $8,500,000, but you already recognised $4 m in 2013, so that leaves $4,500,000 to be recognised in 2014
Revenue to be recognised in 2014 $4,500,000
- Cost incurred in 2014 $4,050,000
= Gross profit $450,000

2015
Cost incurred todate $9,135,000
+ Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 0
= Estimated total costs $9,135,000

% of completion = 100%

Revenue to be recognised todate = $10m x 100% = $10,000,000, but you already recognised $4m in 2013, and $4,500,000 in 2014, so that leaves $2,500,000 to be recognised in 2015
Revenue to be recognised in 2015 $2,500,000
- Cost incurred in 2015 $ 1,485,000
= Gross profit $1,015,000
