Problem 18A-12

On July 1, 2014, Torvill Construction Company Inc. contracted to build an office building for Gumbel Corp. for a total contract price of $1,634,000. On July 1, Torvill estimated that it would take between 2 and 3 years to complete the building. On December 31, 2016, the building was deemed substantially completed. Following are accumulated contract costs incurred, estimated costs to complete the contract, and accumulated billings to Gumbel for 2014, 2015, and 2016.
At 12/31/14 At 12/31/15 At 12/31/16 Contract costs incurred to date $258,000 $1,032,000 $1,806,000 Estimated costs to complete the contract 1,032,000 688,000 –0– Billings to Gumbel 258,000 946,000 1,591,000

Explanation / Answer

Persentage of complitation method

Revenue = total revenue * % of complitation cost (cost incurred till year end / total cost)

Total cost = total cost incurred + estimate future cost

Year 2014

%of complitation = 258,000/1,032,000 = 25 %

Revenue 1,634,000 *25% = 408,500

Profit = 408500-258000 = 150,500

Year 2015

% complete = 1032000/1720000

Revenue 1,634,000 * 60% = 980400

Loss = 980400 - 1032000 = (51,600)

Year 2016

Loss to be recognized = 172000 - 51600 = (120400)

Under completed contrect method :

Year 2014 - No profit and loss will be booked i.e. $0

Year 2015 - No profit and loss will be booked i.e. $0

Year 2016 Total loss will be booked = 1634000-1806000 = (172000)
