Question 13. [70 points] 2004 2005 Estimatd total cost = $1,000,000 Total revenues = 1,500,000 So, no total loss. Since there is no total loss, there are no journal entries. Estimated total cost = $1,100,000 + 600,000 = $1,700,000 Total revenues = 1,500,000 Total loss = 200,000 Must book a total loss of $200,000 Journal entries to book total loss of $200,000: Dr: Loss on long-term contract 200,000 Cr: Construction in process 200,000 2006 Total cost of project = $1,600,000 Total revenues = 1,500,000 Realized total loss = 100,000 The realized total loss on the whole project is $100,000, the loss realized in prior years is $200,000. As a result, a gain of $100,000 should be recognized in 2006. The journal entries to recognize a gain of $100,000 in 2006 are: Dr: Construction in process 100,000 Cr: Gain on long term cotract 100,000 10
