Question

Citation Builders, Inc., builds office buildings and single-family homes. The office buildings are constructed under contract with reputable buyers. The homes are constructed in developments ranging from 10−20 homes and are typically sold during construction or soon after. To secure the home upon completion, buyers must pay a deposit of 10% of the price of the home with the remaining balance due upon completion of the house and transfer of title. Failure to pay the full amount results in forfeiture of the down payment. Occasionally, homes remain unsold for as long as three months after construction. In these situations, sales price reductions are used to promote the sale. During 2021, Citation began construction of an office building for Altamont Corporation. The total contract price is $25 million. Costs incurred, estimated costs to complete at year-end, billings, and cash collections for the life of the contract are as follows: 2021 2022 2023 Costs incurred during the year $ 5,000,000 $ 11,875,000 $ 5,625,000 Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 15,000,000 5,625,000 − Billings during the year 2,500,000 12,500,000 10,000,000 Cash collections during the year 2,250,000 11,150,000 11,600,000 Also during 2021, Citation began a development consisting of 12 identical homes. Citation estimated that each home will sell for $900,000, but individual sales prices are negotiated with buyers. Deposits were received for eight of the homes, three of which were completed during 2021 and paid for in full for $900,000 each by the buyers. The completed homes cost $675,000 each to construct. The construction costs incurred during 2021 for the nine uncompleted homes totaled $4,050,000.

The allocation basis is determine on the basis of each period’s project cost incurred in proportion to the total estimated cost of project.

Part 2

	2021	2022
Contract price	25000000	25000000
Actual costs to date	5,000,000	16875000 (5000000+11875000)
Estimated costs to complete	15000000	5625000
Total estimated costs	20000000	22500000
Estimated gross profit	5000000	2500000

A. Revenue recognition:

2021 : $0

2022 : $0

total Revenues will be recognized only in 2020

B. Gross profit recognition:

2021 : $0

2022 : $0

gross profit will be recognized only in 2023

C. Citation will report in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet related to this contract = $2500000 (Costs – billings = 5000000-2500000 = 2500000)

Balance sheet (partial)

At December 31, 2021

Current assets:
Accounts receivable (2500000-2250000)	250000
Costs in excess of billings	2500000
Current liabilities:

Part 3

	2021	2022
Contract price	25000000	25000000
Actual costs to date	5,000,000	16875000 (5000000+11875000)
Estimated costs to complete	15000000	5625000
Total estimated costs	20000000	22500000
Estimated gross profit	5000000	2500000

A Revenue recognition:

2021

Revenue: 5000000/20000000 = 25%*25000000 = 6250000

2022

Revenue: 16875000/22500000 = 75%*25000000 = 18750000-6250000 = 12500000

B. Gross profit recognition:

2021 = 6250000-5000000 = 1250000

2022 = 12500000-11875000 = 625000

C . Citation will report in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet related to this contract = $3750000 (Costs + profit – billings = 5000000+1250000-2500000 = 3750000)

Current assets:
Accounts receivable	250000
Costs and profit in excess of billings	3750000
Current liabilities:

Accounts receivable = billings – cash collection = 2500000-2250000 = 250000

Part 4 A & B

Revenue reported	$7000000
Gross profit or loss to be recognized	$(3500000)

	2021	2022
Contract price	25000000	25000000
Actual costs to date	5,000,000	16875000 (5000000+11875000)
Estimated costs to complete	15000000	11250000
Total estimated costs	20000000	28125000
Estimated gross profit	5000000	(3125000)

A. Revenue recognition:

Total revenue recognized to date= (percentage complete) ×(total revenue)

= (16875000/28125000) x 25000000 = 15000000

Revenue recognized in 2022= total – revenue recognized in prior periods = 15000000-6250000 = $8750000

(Revenue recognized in prior period (2021) = 5000000/20000000*25000000 = 6250000)

B. Gross profit or loss recognition:

Gross loss = overall loss – previously recognized gross profit = (3125000)-1250000 = (4375000)

(previously recognized gross profit (2021) = 6250000-5000000=1250000)

Part 4 C

Current assets:
Accounts receivable	2600000
Current liabilities:
Billings in excess of Costs and profit	1250000

Accounts receivable = (2500000-1250000)+(12500000-11150000) = 2600000

Citation will report in its December 31, 2019, balance sheet related to this contract = billings – (cost + profit ) = (2500000+12500000)-(5000000+11875000+1250000-4375000) = 1250000
