单选题 A company has a contract to build a house for $80000 with an estimated time to completion of three years. A reliable cost estimate of the project is $50000. In the first year of the project, the company incurred cost totaling $20000. How much profit should the company report at the end of the first year under the percentage-of-completion method and the completed-contract method?
percentage-of-completion method completed-contract method
① $12000 $0
② $12000 $30000
③ $30000 $0
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 由于该项工程总成本中的20000/50000=40%发生在第一年,因而该项目在第一年年末相应完成了40%。根据完成百分比法,第一年的收入为80000×40%=32000(美元),费用(发生的成本)为20000美元。因此,根据完成百分比法,2006年的净收益(利润)为32000-20000=12000(美元)。
在完成合同法下,只有在合同完成时,才能对收入、费用和利润加以确认。因此,根据完成合同法,该公司在第一年应记录的利润金额为零。
