Question 3 (a) Constructions Limited is engaged in the business of constructing Flyovers and Railway over bridges. It obtained a contract from Railway Authorities to construct a railway over bridge for 400 crores. The construction of the railway over bridge is expected to be completed in 4 years. At the outset of the contract, it was estimated that the total costs to be incurred will be 370 crores but by the end of year 1, this estimate stands revised to 375 crores. During year 3, the Construction Limited has requested for a variation in the contract which is approved by Railway Authorities and accordingly the total contract value will increase by 10 crores and costs will increase by 7 crores. The Constructions Limited decided to measure the stage of completion on the basis of the proportion of contract costs incurred to the total estimated contract costs. Contract costs incurred at the end of each year is: Year 1 98.8 crores Year 2 202.4 crores Year 3310 crores (including unused material of 3 crores) Year 4 382 crores You are required to: (1) Calculate stage of completion of contract for each year (2) Profit to be recognised for each year.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

(a) Stage of completion = Costs incurred to date / Total estimated costs Year 1: 98.8 crore / 375 crore = 26.35% Year 2: 202.4 crore / 375 crore = 53.97% Year 3: (310 crore – 3 crore) / (375+7) crore = 80.37% Year 4: 382 crore / 382 crore = 100% (b) Profit to be recognized each year has been calculated as follows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Contract Revenue (1) 105.40 crore (400 crore x 26.35%) 110.48 crore (400 crore x 53.97% - 105.40 crore) 113.64 crore (410 crore x 80.37% - 105.40 crore - 110.48 crore) 80.48 crore (410 crore x 100% - 105.40 crore - 110.48 crore - 113.64 crore) Contract Cost (2) 98.8 crore 103.60 crore (202.40 - 98.80 crore) 104.60 crore (307 crore - 98.8 crore - 103.60 crore) 75 crore (382 crore - 98.8 crore - 103.6 crore - 104.6 crore) Contract Profit (1) - (2) 6.60 crore 6.88 crore 9.04 crore 5.48 crore
