Computation of Gross Profit (for percentage of completion method):
2010 2011 2012
Construction costs incurred to date $2,000,000 $ 6,000,000 $12,000,000
aSince a negative gross profit (loss) of $2,000,000 ($12,000,000 – $10,000,000) is
expected for the contract, a negative gross profit of $2,500,000 (the $2,000,000
negative gross profit plus the $500,000 gross profit previously recognized) must be
recognized in 2010. Therefore the expense is $5,000,000 ($2,500,000 + $500,000 +
$2,000,000).
