    Question:
    Agreed contract price 1,200
    Estimated total cost of contract at commencement 900
    Estimated total cost at 31 March 2006 1,250
    Agreed value of work completed at 31 March 2006 840
    Progress billings invoiced and received at 31 March 2006 880
    Contract costs incurred to 31 March 2006 720

    The agreed value of the work completed at 31 March 2006 is considered to be equal to the revenue earned in the year ended 31 March 2006. The percentage of completion is calculated as the agreed value of work completed to the agreed contract price.

    Answer given:
    Statement of Profit or Loss
    Contract revenue 840
    Contract expenses 720
    Expected loss recognised 170
    Attributable loss 50

    My answer:
    Contract revenue 840
    Contract expenses 875
    Expected loss recognised 15
    Attributable loss 50

    How to get the 720 and 170?

    “Statement of Profit or Loss
    Contract revenue 840
    Contract expenses 720
    Expected loss recognised 170
    Attributable loss 50”

    In my workings, the figures are as follows:

    Revenue recognised 70% x 1,200 840
    Costs recognised (balancing figure) 890

    Loss recognised ( 50)

    Here’s what you have quoted to me “How to get the 720 and 170?”

    The total is 890, as per my workings

    The reason for the 720 is that that is the costs to date and ….
    ….. the reason for the 170 is to push that 720 up to 890 and thus recognise the 50 anticipated loss in full

    OK?
