    It’s from Kaplan F7, IFRS 15 Revenue Chapter, Understanding 5.
    Question:
    On 1 January 20×1, Castle enters into a contract with customer to construct a specialised building for consideration $10m. Castle is not able to use building themselves at any point during construction.

    At December 20×1 Castle has incurred cost of $6m. Cost to complete are $2m. Castle decides to measure progress towards completion based on cost incurred.

    To date, Castle has received $3m from Customer
    Required: How should this transaction be accounted for in the year ended 31 december 20×1?

    Now when i solved the question i did following which give me profit while answer at back says loss.
    My answer:
    1- Overall Contract:
    Price: $10m
    less costs to date: ($6m)
    less cost to complete ($2m)
    _____
    Profit: $2m

    While book says cost to complete is $6m giving a loss of $2m. When i saw answer i was shocked. Please tell i solved it correctly or i have made a mistake

    My answer would be:

    Revenue recognised (60% x $10m) 6,000,000
    Costs recognised (60% x ($6 + $2)) 4,800,000

    Profit recognised 1,200,000

    Probably what Kaplan has done is mistyped the costs to complete figure and maybe it should be $6m to complete on top of the $6m already spent. Maybe

    Best I can do, sorry!
