    Martac Construction is building a new shopping centre for $220m. This is a contract whereby performance obligations are satisfied over time. satisfaction of performance obligations is measured by certificates of % completion. At the end of the first year the contract had been 60% completed at a cost of $90m and invoices to customer of $100m had been received. It is estimated that the contract will cost a further $80m to complete.

    What figure should Martac show on sofp at end of year one under contract assets?

    I had answered $20m = but the correct answer was $32m

    my workings were:-
    Contract 220,000
    costs to date -90,000
    costs to complete -80,000
    expected profit 50,000

    p&L
    Revenue (220*60%) 132,000
    COS (90+80)*60% -102,000
    Profit 30,000

    sofp
    costs to date 90,000
    profit 30,000
    invoiced -100,000
    contract asset 20,000 sofp current asset

    but they have done receivables
    Revenue 132,000
    invoiced -100,000
    receivables 32,000

    Where am i going wrong here? i thought they just wanted the asset figure?

    Also stuck on this similar question. i am obviously missing something from my learning – please can someone help. many thanks in advance.

    Martac Construction is constructing a law court complex at a fixed price of $70m
    This is a contract where performance obligations are satisfied over time. Unfortunately at the end of year 1 cost incurred were $40m but the contract was only 50% complete.
    £20m had been invoiced. It is expected that costs will have risen to $85 by completion date.

    What figure should Martac show under current assets on sofp at end of year 1?

    My workings were:-

    contract price 70000
    costs to date -40000
    costs to complete -45000
    expected loss -15000

    P&L
    Revenue (70*50%) 35000
    COS (bal) -50000
    Loss -15000

    SOFP
    Loss -15000
    actual costs 40000
    invoiced -20000
    contract asset 5000

    SOFP
    current assets
    contract asset 5000
    receivables (70-20) 50000

    ANSWER was $15000

    revenue 70*50% 35000
    invoiced -20000
    asset 15000

    What you have done is correct. The standard allows alternative treatments and is not prescriptive about what has to e done on the SFP, hence the different treatment/answer.

    asset 15000

    This is the same as in the previous question. What you have done is correct but there are alternative treatment.
