(b) Prepare the necessary journal entries for XYZ for the years 2017 and 2018. (c) Show the relevant balance sheet and income statement sections for 2017

Explanation / Answer

a. Compuatation of gross profit for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018

2015

Gross profit for first year = Total estimated profit of the contract x Percentage of completion

Total estimated profit = Total contract revenue - Total estimated cost
= 48,000,000 - (11,000,000 + 29,000,000)
= $8,000,000

Percentage of completion = Cost to date / Total estimated cost
= 11,000,000 / 40,000,000 = 27.50%

So, Gross profit for year 2015 = 8,000,000 x 27.5% = $2,200,000

2016

Gross profit for subsequent years = Total estimated profit of the contract x Percentage of completion - Profits recognized in previous years

Total estimated profit = Total contract revenue - Total estimated cost
= 48,000,000 - (20,000,000 + 20,000,000)
= $8,000,000

Percentage of completion = Cost to date / Total estimated cost
= 20,000,000 / 40,000,000 = 50%

So, Gross profit for year 2016 = (8,000,000 x 50%) - 2,200,000 = $1,800,000

2017

Gross profit for subsequent years = Total estimated profit of the contract x Percentage of completion - Profits recognized in previous years

Total estimated profit = Total contract revenue - Total estimated cost
= 48,000,000 - (27,000,000 + 13,000,000)
= $8,000,000

Percentage of completion = Cost to date / Total estimated cost
= 27,000,000 / 40,000,000 = 67.50%

So, Gross profit for year 2017 = (8,000,000 x 67.50%) - (2,200,000 + 1,800,000) = $1,400,000

2018

Gross profit for last year = Total profit of the contract - Profits recognized in previous years

Total profit of the contract = Total contract revenue - Total cost
= 48,000,000 - 40,000,000
= $8,000,000

So, Gross profit for year 2018 = 8,000,000 - (2,200,000 + 1,800,000 + 1,400,000)= $2,600,000

b. Journal entries for XYZ for the years 2017 and 2018

c. Balance Sheet and income statement sections for 2017
