2022 $____121,105____                       2022 $____1,150,000____

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Contract price = $5,700,000

Estimated construction costs = $3,920,000

Project completion date = 2022

Costs and Billings:

                                                     2020            2021            2022

Total costs incurred to date  $1,470,000 $2,580,000 $4,550,000

Estimated costs to complete 2,450,000     1,720,000     -0-

Customer billings to date       2,100,000    3,920,000  5,500,000

Collections to date                 1,900,000     3,400,000  5,400,000

Percentage of completion:

2020:

Revenue  =        $2,137,500 ($1,470,000/$3,920,000 * $5,700,000)

Cost incurred =   1,470,000

Gross profit =     $667,500

2021:

Revenue =         $1,471,395 ($1,110,000/$4,300,000 * $5,700,000)

Cost incurred =   1,110,000

Gross profit =     $361,395

2022:

Revenue =      $2,091,105 ($5,700,000 - $2,137,500 - $1,471,395)

Cost incurred   1,970,000

Gross profit =     $121,105

Completed contract

2022: Revenue = $5,700,000

Total costs =          4,550,000

Gross profit  =        $1,150,000
