    Working 2 is like “unbilled work in progress” and is different in nature than working 3 – accounts receivable / debtors

    ????11- Construction contract
    How to calculate the contract cost?
    when we calculate the contract cost is:
    Total contract cost ( x % of completion)
    add foreseeable losses (estimated profit x ?%(why this propotion is take the 100% minus the % of completion ? and why not based on the % of completion?)

    my problem is how to calculate the foreseeablke losses?
    Please be answer . Thank You

    Where the contract is facing an overall loss, then the full amount of the loss should be recognised immediately. Therefore, in working 1, enter the revenue recognised ( % complete x contract value ), then put in the last of the three lines in working 1 the FULL amount of the loss which is forecast. Line 2 ( costs recognised ) now becomes the balancing figure
