Total Gross Profit (GP) = (Total Contract Price $3,000,000 - Cost $2,000,000) = $1,000,000

Cost incurred till year1 = ($700,000/$2,000,000 x100)=35%

therefore, GP for year1 = $1,000,000 x35% = $350,000 <or>

($700,000/$2,000,000) x ($3,000,000-$2,000,000) = $350,000

 

 Answer D: $350,000

the gross profit to be recognized in Year1=

[(total expected profit × percentage complete)-profit previously recognized]. 

[(1,000,000 ×35%) -0] =350,000  answer is D

 

Total expected profit = contract price - the estimated total cost 

                                  =3,000,000 -2,000,000 =1,000,000.

 

percentage complete = the cost incurred / the estimated total cost

                                   =700,000 /2,000,000 =35%

 

profit previously recognized = this is first year of the project so there is no profit previously recognized.
