I am struggling with recognition of profit for performance/obligation recognized overtime:
BPP revision kit 2021:
Bridgenorth Co case:
B. Co has undertaken a $5 million contract to repair tunnel, contract sign on 1 January x8 and expect to take 3 years. contract measured according % of work completed as certified by the surveyor. The customer gains control of the asset as each stage of the tunnel is completed. B CO. has enforceable right to payment for performance complete to date.
Total contract value: 5000
Costs to date: 2300
Estimated cost to completion: 2100
Work invoiced to date: 2000
cash received to date: 1500
% certified complete: 50 %
Question: what profit recognizedNow there is nearly exactly the same quesiton in BPB revision kit 2020 (just change the % certified complete to 40%).
But there were 2 answers:
in BPP 2021: Answer is
revenue = 50% x 5000 = 2,500
Expenses = -2300
Profit = 200,While answer in BPP 2020 is: (the actual percentage in BPP 2020 is 40%, I took 50% for easy comparison)
revenue= 50%*5000= 2,500
Expenses= 50%* (2300+2100)= 2,200
Profit = 300Can you help to advise which way is correct?
Thank you very much
May 16, 2021 at 5:48 pm #620769i would go for the way how is it calculated in the BPP 2020. if you go to the videos we have on this website with the explanations, the tutor who is doing the videos on the chapter for revenues, explains how to calculate the profit in the following way:
total revenue: 5000
total costs (incurred, estimated).= 2300 + 2100 = 4400
profit = (5000-4400) * 50% = 600 * 50% = 300
this result is the same as provided by BPP 2020 - AuthorPosts
