On 1 January 20X1 Amir entered into a contract with a customer to
construct a stadium for consideration of $100m. The contract was
expected to take 2 years to complete.
At 31 December 20X1 Amir had incurred costs of $24m. Costs to
complete are estimated at $20m. In addition to these costs, Amir
purchased plant to be used on the contract at a cost of $16m. This
plant was purchased on 1 January 20X1 and will have no residual
value at the end of the 2 year contract. Depreciation on the plant is to
be allocated on a straight line basis across the contract.
Amir measures progress on contracts using an output method, based
on the value of work certified to date.
At 31 December 20X1, the value of the work certified was $45 million,
and the customer had paid $11.4m.

Good day,Please i don’t understand why the depreciation of the plant wasn’t also removed from the contract revenue. I’ll appreciate if you can explain betterSeptember 1, 2022 at 7:22 pm #664886Hi,
I’m confused as to why you think the depreciation would be removed from the contract revenue. Depreciation is a cost and is recognised as such through profit or loss, it is not net-off against the revenue figure.
In this scenario, the contract is one year though out of the two years total and hence why half of the depreciation has been recognised as a separate line through profit or loss.
Thanks
September 5, 2022 at 1:48 pm #665229Hi,i am still confused on why the depreciation wasn’t included in the costs incurred till date
September 5, 2022 at 8:59 pm #665304They have shown it in a separate line within the calculation where they have deducted the cost in full to work out if the contract is profitable.
Thanks
September 7, 2022 at 1:38 am #665493So it had been included in the 24000 cost to complete?
September 11, 2022 at 9:07 pm #666184If you wish to call it that, then yes. All they simply do is to include it as an entire cost when working out the overall profit of the contract.
Thanks
