A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $38 million. Construction costs incurred during the first year were $12 million, and estimated costs to complete at the end of the year were $18 million. The building was completed during the second year. Construction costs incurred during the second year were $19 million. How much revenue and gross profit or loss will the company recognize in the first and second year if it recognizes revenue upon contract completion?

REVENUE YR 1 0 because they havent collected anything REVENUE YR 2 38,000,000 because this is how much money they collected and this is revenue upon contract completion (completed at the end of yr 2) GROSS PROFIT for the blank word GROSS PROFIT YR 1 0 because they havent collected anything or lost anything at this point GROSS PROFIT YR 2 $38,000,000 - $12,000,000 - $19,000,000 (the actual costs incurred 2nd yr) = $7,000,000

Thomas Consultants provided Bran Construction with assistance in implementing various cost-savings initiatives.

Thomas can't argue that it is probable that it won't have to reverse (adjust downward) a significant amount of revenue in the future because of a change in returns. Therefore, Thomas would not include the bonus estimate in the transaction price, and the transaction price would be the flat fee of 55,000
