                                                            2014                                       2015

Costs Incurred to Date                     $7,200,000                            $11,200,000

Collections to Date                            $4,000,000                            $14,400,000

Revenue                                                                                                                   

Gross Profit                                                                                                                  

Explanation / Answer

Total estimated gross profit

= Total contract cost –[Total cost incurred to date+ estimated costs to complete]

= $16,800,000-[ $7,200,000 + $4,800,000 ]

=$16,800,000 -$12,000,000

=$4,800,000

% complete = Total construction costs to date/Total estimated costs of contract

          Year 2014= $7,200,000 /$12,000,000 x 100

                           =60%

Gross profit to date = % complete X Total estimated gross profit

                            

Year 2014:

Gross profit=$4,800,000 x 60%=$2,880,000
