$30,000 loss Reason: In year 1, the project is 50% complete and the expected total gross profit is $200,000. The company would have recognized $100,000 of gross profit in year 1. In year 2, the project is 70% complete and the expected total gross profit is reduced to $100,000. A total of $70,000 gross profit should be recognized at the end of year 2. $100,000 was recognized in year 1 so a $30,000 loss is recognized in year 2. $100,000 year 1 gross profit less $30,000 loss = $70,000 gross profit to date.
