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 recognized Now 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%x5000= 2,500 Expenses= 50% (2300+2100)= 2,200 Profit = 300 Can you help to advise which way is correct? Thank you very much

Hi, I think the original one is correct as they have worked out the total profit and then applied the percentage complete. Is the question exactly the same, word for word? I only ask as there could be something in the final sentence of the question that means they have treated things slightly differently. Thanks

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your response, this is what different between those 2: I just realized that there is one sentence added for 2021 "The customer gains control of the asset as each stage of the tunnel is completed." Can you help to advise that makes the 2 answers different? 2021: Bridgenorth Co undertaken a 5 million contract to repair a railway tunnel.
