Ebali Corporation, a calendar year taxpayer utilizing the completed contract method of accounting, constructed a building for Samson, Inc., under a long-term contract. The gross contract price was $2,300,000. Jebali finished construction in 2016 at a cost of $2,100,000. However, Samson insisted that Jebali redo the doorway; otherwise, the contract price would be reduced. The estimated cost of redoing the doorway is $80,000.

    Contract price = 2300000 2300000

    Cost to date = (2100000) (2160000)

    Further estimated Cost = (80000) 0

    Profit = 120000 140000

    Stage of completion = 2100/2180 = 96.33% 100%

    As at Profit and loss

    Revenue 2300*96.33 = 2215596.33 2300000

    Profit 120*96.33 = - 115596.3303 - 140000

    Cost of Sales = 2100000 2160000

    For the period profit and loss

    Revenue = 2215596 84404

    Cost of sales = (2100000) 60000

    Profit = 115596 24404
