Answer 1

Answer:

c. $1,610,000

Explanation:

Eilert would recognize gross profit on the

building of:

Costs to date $17,710,000-Estimated cost of $38,500,000× Building $42,000,000-Estimated cost $38,500,000

Hence:

($17,710,000 ÷ $38,500,000) × $3,500,000

=0.46×$3,500,000

=$1,610,000

Therefore Eilert would report Construction in Process in the amount of:=$1,610,000
