Answer 1

Answer:

$625,000

Explanation:

Calculation for how much income is recognized in Year 3

First step

Year 1 2 3

Cost incurred Till date

1000 (1000+1500)2500 (2500+1250)3750

Estimated cost to complete

3000 1500 0

Total cost of contract

4000 4000 3750

Second step

Using this formula to calculate for the percentage of completion for each year

Percentage of completion =Cost incurred till date /Total cost

Let plug in the formula

Yeat 1= 1,000/4,000 =25%

Year 2= 2,500/4,000 =62.5%

Year 3=3,750/3,750 =100%

Last step

Year 1 2 3

Contract price 5000 5000 5000

Less:Total cost (4000) (4000) (3750)

Gross profit 1000 1000 1250

Percentage of completion

25% 62.5% 100%

Gross profit to be recognized till date (1000*25%)=250 (1000*62.5%)=625 (1250*100%)=1,250

Less:Gross profit recognized till prior year

0 -250 -625

Gross profit to be recognized in current period

250 375 625

Hence;

Year 1 Gross profit is $250,000

Year 2 Gross profit is $375,000

Year 3 Gross profit is $625,000

Therefore the amount of income recognized in year 3 will be $625,000
