4.The answer is: Halt should report $150,000 as gross profit
Explanation:
Halt recognized $300,000 as gross profit for Yr 3.
By December 31, Yr 4, Halt had completed 75% of the construction project: ($1,800,000 spent / $1,800,000 + $600,000 cost to complete) x 100 = 75%
Halt anticipated $600,000 as gross profit ($3,000,000 contract price - $2,400,000 expected costs).
To determine the gross profit for Yr 4:
gross profit Yr 4 = ($600,000 total gross profit x 75% completion rate) - $300,000 previously recognized gross profit = $450,000 - $300,000 = $150,000
