Contract price = $2,195,000.
2020 2021
Costs incurred during the year $637,600 $1,000,000
Total estimated cost 1,594,000 1,637,600
Billings during the year 427,000 2,195,000
Collections during the year 343,000 1,509,000
Percentage of completion= Cost incurred in 2020/Total estimated cost in 2020 * 100
= $637,600/$1,594,000 * 100
= 40%
Revenue to be recognized in 2020 = 40% * Contract Price
= $878,000 ($2,195,000 * 40%)
