Curtiss Construction Company, Inc., entered into a fixed-price contract with Axelrod Associates on July 1, 2016, to construct a
four-story office building. At that time, Curtiss estimated that it would take between two and three years to complete the project. The total contract price for construction of the building is $4,000,000. Curtiss concludes that the contract does not qualify for revenue recognition over time. The building was completed on December 31, 2018. Estimated percentage of completion, accumulated contract costs incurred, estimated costs to complete the contract, and accumulated billings to Axelrod under the contract were as follows:
At 12-31-2016 At 12-31-2017 At 12-31-2018
Percentage of completion 10% 60% 100%
Costs incurred to date $350,000 $2,500,000 $4,250,000
Estimated costs to complete 3,150,000 1,700,000 0
Billings to Axelrod, to date 720,000 2,170,000 3,600,000
Required:
1. Compute gross profit or loss to be recognized as a result of this contract for each of the three years.

Answer:
Discounted payback period shall be as follows:
a. 1 year 7.36 months
b. 2 years 3.27 months
c. 3 years 2.9 months
Explanation:
a. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $5,700
For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.
Year Cash Flow PV Factor PV of Cash Flow Cumulative
Cash Flow
0 - $5,700 1 - $5,700 -5,700
1 $4,400 0.877 $3,858.8 -$1,841.2
2 $3,900 0.770 $3,003 $1,161.8
Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 2nd year payback period =
1 + = 1 year and 7.36 months
b. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $7,800
For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.
Year Cash Flow PV Factor PV of Cash Flow Cumulative
Cash Flow
0 - $7,800 1 - $7,800 -7,800
1 $4,400 0.877 $3,858.8 -$3,941.2
2 $3,900 0.770 $3,003 -$938.2
3 $5,100 0.675 $3,442.5 $2,504.3
Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 3rd year payback period =
2 + = 2 years and 3.27 months
b. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $10,800
For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.
Year Cash Flow PV Factor PV of Cash Flow Cumulative
Cash Flow
0 - $10,800 1 - $10,800 -$10,800
1 $4,400 0.877 $3,858.8 -$6,941.2
2 $3,900 0.770 $3,003 -$3,938.2
3 $5,100 0.675 $3,442.5 -$495.7
4 $4,300 0.592 $2,545.6 $2,049.9
Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 4th year payback period =
3 + = 3 years and 2.9 months
Final Answer
Discounted payback period shall be as follows:
a. 1 year 7.36 months
b. 2 years 3.27 months
c. 3 years 2.9 months
