Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
Total expected costs = cost incurred to date + estimated cost to complete
= 1,200,000 + 3,600,000
= 4,800,000
= 0.25
= 25%
Profit = contract revenue - Total expected costs
= $6,000,000 - 4,800,000
= $1,200,000
Cumulative gross profit = Profit × Percentage of completion
= $1,200,000 × 0.25
= $300,000
Therefore, Red Builders should have recognized profit at the end of year 1 in the amount of $300,000.
