Working 2 is like "unbilled work in progress" and is different in nature than working 3 - accounts receivable / debtors

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
