    Answer: $500,000

    Explanation:

    The difference between the contract amount and cost incurred is the profit in this case.

    Profit from the project = $20mn-$16mn

    =$4mn

    In the above mentioned project only 12.5% complete at the end of 20X5 ($2mn/$16mn). Total gross profit through the end of 20X5 is therefore

    =$4mn x 12.5%

    =$500,000

    The $500,000 amount is the proportion of completion applied to the total contract profit of $4mn. This is the beginning year of contract so there is no previous profits or expenses that needs to be adjusted. The entire $500,000 gross profit is recognized in 20X5.
