Gross profit to be recognized = $196,140

Explanation:

Headland Inc.

Gross profit to be recognized by Headland at December 31, 2014 ending

Estimated contract cost $1,962,000

Fixed fee $467,000

Total $1,962,000 + $467,000) $2,429,000

Total estimated cost $1,962,000

Gross profit ($2,429,000 - $1,962,000) $467,000

percentage of completion: ($829,900/1,962,000) 42%

Gross profit to be recognized: $467,000*42% $196,140
