Hi my Dear Tutor I have a question relation to Moby
Trial balance 30 September 2016
Construction contract(1)-4000Note(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)-10000The 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—–2000cost to date–14000
profit recognised-2000
amount invoiced or billed-10000
contract asset-6000Then 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?

May 30, 2017 at 12:17 pm #388994I 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
:-))
