Select one:
a. $1027514
b. $863458
c. $1890972
d. $1494876
Option A
Solving as per degree of completion method-
Revenue for 2017=Cost incurred in 2017/(cost incurred in 2017+expected cost)* total contract revenue
=615470/(615470+1200218)*2547273=$863457.9
Revenue for 2018=(Cost incurred in 2018 + cost incurred in 2017)/(cost incurred in 2017+cost incurred in 2018+ expected cost)* total contract revenue-revenue booked in 2017
=(598465+615470)/(598465+615470+421321)*2547273-863457.9=$10,27,514.45=$ 1027514 (approx.)
