    Sir assuming we are not given the amount received but amount billed in wk3 , is there any way to calculate the current asset ?

    And in wk 1 where can calculate overall profit but in wk2 we do not know the profit to date (progress) but cost to date and amount billed , how do we also calculate the profit to date ? So that we can arrive at the current asset that is the amount due from customer ?

    Let’s say Revneue $5m
    cost incurred $1.6m
    Cost remaining $2.4m
    Overall profit = $1m

    How do we calculate the progress on the basis amount billed compared to the contract price .
    Is ok if I say $1.8m/$5m = 36%
    To enable me calculate the current asset that will be reported in the SOPF?

    Cost to date $1.6m
    Profit to date $360 ( $1m/36%)
    Amt invoiced ($1.8)
    Due from customer = $160,000?

    “assuming we are not given the amount received but amount billed in wk3 , is there any way to calculate the current asset ”

    Not the account receivable – but if you’re not given the necessary information then you can’t do the computation – don’t worry about it

    “How do we calculate the progress on the basis amount billed compared to the contract price ”

    You can’t – you haven’t been told the amount billed

    No! You can’t go re-writing questions like that!

    Ig the examiner wants to know the current asset figure for amounts receivable, the examiner will give you all necessary information

    OK?
