Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated contract completion period = 5 years

Estimated total cost of completion = $4,500,000

Total contract price = $6,000,000

Construction costs incurred during the year = $1,185,800

Estimated cost to complete the contract = $4,204,200

Total costs to be incurred = $5,390,000

Billing = $1,500,000 (25% of $6,000,000)

107x106 is the answer
