buidling for an agreed upon contract price of $2,400,000 and construction is estimated to take three years at a total estimated cost of $2,000,000. Assuming costs may fluctuate over the 3-year construction period. Which statement is most accurate regarding revenue recognition for this contract? The builder should recognize revenue over time using the cost-to-cost (percentage of completion) method. The builder should wait to recognize revenue until the full construction is complete at the end of the three year period. The builder should recognize recognize revenue across the three year construction period as they collect cash payments. The builder should recognize all revenue for the contract at the start of construction when the contract is initially signed.

A company is accounting for a long-term construction contract where revenue is recognized over time. The project is built to the customer's specifications, and the customer can make changes as construction is ongoing. It is a 3-year, fixed-fee contract that is presently in its first year. The latest reasonable estimates of total contract costs indicate that the contract will be completed at a profit. The company will submit progress billings to the customer and has reasonable assurance that collections on these billings will be received in each year of the contract. The contract can be canceled at any time by the customer who will retain control of any work done to date. Discuss the following: a. When should revenue from contracts be accounted for overtime versus at a point in time? b. How would the income recognized in each year of this long-term construction contract be determined using the cost-to-cost basis of determining progress toward satisfaction of the performance…

Determining the Transaction Price for a Revenue Contract A contractor enters into a revenue contract with a customer to build customized equipment for $180,000 with a performance bonus of $99,000 that will be paid based on how quickly the equipment is completed. The amount of the performance bonus decreases by 15% of the original bonus per week for every week beyond the agreed upon completion date. The contractor has had experiences with similar contracts and thus has the data to predict the timing of completion of the contract. Therefore, the contractor concludes that the expected value method is the best predictor of revenue. The contractor estimates that there is a 60% probability that the contract will be completed by the agreed-upon completion date, a 35% probability that it will be completed one week late, and a 5% probability that it will be completed two weeks late. Complete the following table in order to determine the transaction price for revenue recognition for the…

Three construction jobs are being considered by Clam City Construction (see the accompanying table). Each is characterized by an initial deposit paid by the client to Clam City Construction (CCC), a yearly cost incurred by CCC at the end of each of three years, and a final payment to CCC by the client at the end of three years. CCC has the capacity to do only one of these contracts. Use an appropriate rate of return method to determine which it should choose. The company's MARR is 10 percent. Job 1 2 3 Deposit $100,000 $130,000 $145,000 Cost per Year $75,000 $100,000 $150,000 Final Payment $195,000 $240,000 $350,000 with an Considering the jobs in order of lowest first cost, the best option is incremental rate of return of percent.
