The following data pertains to Pell Co.’s construction jobs, which commenced during Year 2:
Project 1 Project 2
Contract Price $420,000 $300,000
Costs incurred during Y2 $240,000 $280,000
Estimated costs to complete $120,000 $40,000
Billed to customers in Y2 $150,000 $270,000
Received from customers Y2 $90,000 $250,000

If Pell used the percentage-of-completion method, what amount of gross profit (loss) would Pell report in its Y2 income statement?

A

For project 1, $240,000 of the total costs of $360,000 has been incurred, or 2/3 of the total costs.

Project 1
$420 less estimated costs of $360 is an estimated profit of $60. Current profit is 2/3 times $60 = $40,000

Project 2
Estimates a $20,000 loss which is recognized immediately.

Q

Falton Co. had the following first-year amounts related to its $9,000,000 construction contract:
Actual costs incurred and paid $2,000,000
Estimated costs to complete $6,000,000
Progress billings $1,800,000
Cash collected $1,500,000
What amount should Falton recognize as a current liability at year end, using the percentage-of-completion method?
A. $250,000
B. $200,000
C. $0
D. $300,000

A

A liability exists when progress billings exceed costs and estimated earnings.

$1.8 mill progress billings < estimated earnings

Gross profit earned to date = $250,000
A current asset would be created of $250,000 + accumulated costs of $2,000,000 less $1,800,000 progress billings = $450,000

So C is the answer.

19
Q

Sonex Construction Co. incurred the following costs and made the following estimates in the first two years of a three-year construction project.
Y1 Y2
Actual current year costs incurred $1.2 mil $1 mil
Estimated costs to complete $1.8 mil $550k
Contract price $5 mil $5 mil
Billings and collections $2.5 mil $1.5 mil

Using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, how much gross profit would Sonex recognize in Year 2?
A. $1,000,000
B. $650,000
C. $800,000
D. $562,500
A

Calculate the current year profit for Year 1 = $800,000

Calculate the cumulative gross profit recognized in Year 2 to be $1,800,000. Remember that you’ll need to take the actual current year costs in Y1 to use in calculating the percentage ($1.2+$1+$550k = $2,750,000 take $2.2/$2.75 = 80%)

Subtract Year 1’s current year profit to get $1,000,000

20

A. $0
B. $4,000,000 asset
C. $1,800,000 asset
D. $1,500,000 liability

A

A is the answer

Cumulative costs incurred Y1 $1,200,000
Add cumulative gross profit recognized $800,000
Less cumulative billings ($2,500,000)
Equals $500,000 for year 1

For Year 2
Cumulative costs incurred Y2 $2,200,000
Add cumulative gross profit recognized $1,800,000
Less cumulative billings ($4,000,000)
Equals $0
