ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.27 : A biochemical engineering consultancy applies construction accounting in its finance. Its project began on 1 January 2010. Total revenue generated from the project was $9000. On 1 January 2011 as the budget, $2000 had been spent, with $6000 expected. However, the project cost increased latter, causing deviation from its initial budget on 1 January 2012, where $7000 had been spent, with $1400 expected. Let (estimated total cost) = (spent cost) + (expected cost to be spent), (percentage completion) = 100 (spent cost) / (estimated total costs), (total expected profits) = (total revenue) - (estimated total costs). Calculate : (a) total expected profits on 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2012; (b) estimated total cost as and not as the budget; (c) percentage completion of the project since the project began, in the first and second years.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.27 : On 1 January 2011 (as the budget), estimated total costs = $2000 + $6000 = $8000, total expected profits = $9000 - $8000 = $1000, percentage completion on first year = 100 ($2000 / $8000) = 25%. On 1 January 2012 (not as the budget), estimated total costs = $7000 + $1400 = $8400, total expected profits = $9000 - $8400 = $600, percentage completion on second year = 100 ($7000 / $8400) = 83.33%. Final answer : (a) Profits : $1000 (1 January 2011), $600 (1 January 2012). (b) Costs : $8000 (as the budget), $8400 (not as the budget). (c) Percentage completion : 25% (first year), 83.3% (second year).
