Question - Seasons Construction has been participating in two construction projects. One is to construct office building. Another one is to construct industrial building.

Under project A, it is constructing an office building under contract for Cannon Company. The contract calls for progress billings and payments of $1,550,000 each quarter. The total contract price is $18,600,000 and Seasons estimates total costs of $17,750,000. Seasons estimates that the building will take 3 years to complete, and commences construction on January 2, 2018. At December 31, 2018, Seasons estimates that it is 30% complete with the construction, based on costs incurred.

Under project B, Seasons is to construct an industrial building, starting from April 2018, and the project is expected to be completed in September 2020, at an estimated cost of $22,000,000. At the end of 2018, the costs to date were $10,120,000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed.
