    Hi my Dear Tutor I have a question relation to Moby
    Trial balance 30 September 2016
    Construction contract(1)-4000

    Note(1)
    The performance obligations of the construction contract are satisfied over time.The balance on the construction contract is made up of the following items.

    Cost incurred to date-14000
    Value of contract billed (work certified)-10000

    The contract commenced on 1 october 2015 and is for a fixed price of $25million. The costs to complete the contract at 30 September 2016 are estimated at $6 million.Moby ‘s policy is to accrue profits on construction contracts based on a stage of completion given by the work certified as a percentage of the contract price

    Complete% 10000/25000*100%=40%

    Solution
    Under P/L
    Revenue(25000*40%)—10000
    Cost of sales((14000+6000)*40%)—8000
    gross profit—–2000

    cost to date–14000
    profit recognised-2000
    amount invoiced or billed-10000
    contract asset-6000

    Then I looked at the answer, cost recognised under p/l only cost to date 14000 not estimated cost 6000?and the whole calculation became wrong?

    Is this the answer of it?My guess
    Is this because the construction contract estimated cost planned till 30 September 2016
    6000 but it became 14000 that is why 6000 included 14000?

    Could you explain it to me please?

    I would agree with the calculation of 40% of $5 million profit and the amounts due from customer calculated as $2,000 + $14,000 – amounts invoiced of $10,000 giving the solution of amounts due from customers of $6,000

    Interesting that two different publishers should arrive at different answers – one of them, by definition, has made a mistake

    I’ve given you my answer so I’ll leave it up to you to sort out where the error has been made

    :-))
