Howard co. had the following first-year amounts for a $7,000,000 construction contract: actual costs $2,000,000 estimated costs to complete 6,000,000 progress billings 1,800,000 cash collected 1,500,000 what amount should howard recognize as gross profit (loss) using the percentage-of-completion method?
a. ($1,000,000)b. ($200,000)c. $800,000d. $1,750,000

estimated loss from the project is $1,000,000

correct option is a. ($1,000,000)

Explanation:

given data

contract price = $7,000,000

Actual costs =  $2,000,000

Estimated costs = 6,000,000

Progress billings = 1,800,000

Cash collected = 1,500,000

to find out

What amount should Howard recognize as gross profit (loss)

solution

we get in the amount to complete the project that is

amount to complete = contract price - Actual costs - Estimated costs

amount to complete = $7,000,000 - $2,000,000 - 6,000,000

amount to complete = - $1000000

so estimated loss on project

so that  the total $1,000,000 loss must be recognize

so correct option is a. ($1,000,000)
