Question


On February 1, 2018, Arrow Construction Company entered into a three-year construction contract to build a bridge for a price of $8,100,000. During 2018, costs of $2,040,000 were incurred, with estimated costs of $4,040,000 yet to be incurred. Billings of $2,548,000 were sent, and cash collected was $2,290,000.

In 2019, costs incurred were $2,548,000 with remaining costs estimated to be $3,660,000. 2019 billings were $2,798,000, and $2,515,000 cash was collected. The project was completed in 2020 after additional costs of $3,840,000 were incurred. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. This project does not qualify for revenue recognition over time.
