a) $16,000 : $0
b) $16,000 : $40,000
c) $40,000 : $0

a) $16,000 : $0

Explanation:

Expenses  incurred in the first year: $ 24,000.00

Estimated cost for the project: $ 60,000.00

Percentage of costs incurred: =24,000.00/ 60,000 x100

       = 40 perfect

Building estimated revenue=$ 100,000.00

40 % of 100,000.00= .4 x 100,000.00= 40,000.00

percentage of completion = first year revenues - first year expenses i.e. = revenue- expenses

 =$40,000- $24,000

 =$ 16,000.00

No profit will be reported in the first year using the completed contract method as the project is incomplete.
