Answer:

a) $16,000 : $0

Explanation:

Expenses incurred in the first year: $ 24,000.00

Estimated cost for the project: $ 60,000.00

Percentage of costs incurred: =24,000.00/ 60,000 x100

= 40 perfect

Building estimated revenue=$ 100,000.00

40 % of 100,000.00= .4 x 100,000.00= 40,000.00

percentage of completion = first year revenues - first year expenses i.e. = revenue- expenses

=$40,000- $24,000

=$ 16,000.00

No profit will be reported in the first year using the completed contract method as the project is incomplete.
