Question

Blue Co. had the following first-year amounts related to its $12,000,000 construction contract: Actual costs incurred and paid $ 3,000,000 Estimated remaining costs to complete 6,000,000 Progress billings 3,500,000 Cash collected 3,100,000 Assuming the contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time, what total amount (excluding cash) should Blue Co. recognize as current assets at year end

Answer 1

Answer:

$900,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount excluding cash is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

% completion during the year is

= $3,000,000 ÷ ($3,000,000 + $6,000,000)

= 33.3333%

Now Total revenue to be recognized for the year is

= $12,000,000 × 33.33333%

= $4,000,000

Profit for the year is

= $4,000,000 - $3,000,000

= $1,000,000

Now Accounts receivables at the end of year is

= Billings - Collection

= $3,500,000 - $3,100,000 = $400,000

Now Cost and profits in excess of billings

= ($3,000,000 + $1,000,000) - $3,500,000

= $500,000

And, finally Total amount of current assets to be recognize at year end is

= $400,000 + $500,000

= $900,000
