B.) $500,000
C.) $60,000
D.) $75,000

Answer 1

Answer:

D.) $75,000

Explanation:

Amount of revenue recognized = Cost incurred to date / Estimated total cost * Contract price

Cost incurred to date=60,000

Estimated total cost=400,000

Contract price=500,000

Amount of revenue recognized= 60,000/400,000 * 500,000

=0-15 * 500,000

=$75,000

Amount of revenue recognized in year 1 is $75,000
