Required:
a. Compute the amount of gross profit to be recognized each year, assuming the percentage-of-completion method is used.
b. Prepare all necessary journal entries for 2015
c. Compute the amount of gross profit to be recognized each year, assuming the completed-contract method is used.

Explanation:

a. Gross profit in 2014:

Contract price = $1,600,000

Costs = $400,000 + $600,000 = $1,000,000

400,000/1,000,000= 40%

$1,600,000 - $1,000,000 = $600,000

$600,000*40% = $240,000

Gross profit in 2015:

Contract price = $1,600,000

Costs = $825,000 + $275,000 = $1,100,000

825,000/1,100,000= 75%

$1,600,000 - $1,100,000 = $500,000

$500,000*75% = $375,000

Gross profit = 375,000 - 240,000 = $135,000

Gross profit in 2016:

Contract price = $1,600,000

Costs = $1070,000

$1,600,000 - $1,070,000 = $530,000

Gross profit = 530,000 - 240,000 - 135,000 = $155,000

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
