121. Answer B.
$25,000 + $45,000 = $70,000 (completed cost to date + estimated remaining cost =
estimated total cost)
$25,000 ÷ = $70,000 = 35.714% (completed to date ÷ estimated total cost = percentage of
work completed)
35.714% is the percentage of work completed.
122. Answer B.
$25,000 + $45,000 = $70,000 (completed cost to date + estimated remaining cost =
estimated total cost)
$25,000 ÷ = $70,000 = 35.714% (completed to date ÷ estimated total cost = percentage of
work completed)
35.714% is the percentage of work completed.
35.714% of $100,000 is $35,714 (percentage of work completed applied to contract price =
amount of contract income earned or recognized)
123. Answer C.
$25,000 + $45,000 = $70,000 (completed cost to date + estimated remaining cost =
estimated total cost)
$45,000 ÷ = $70,000 = 64.286% (remaining cost ÷ estimated total cost = percentage of
work not completed)
64.286% is the percentage of work not completed
124. Answer C.
3,000 + 9,000 = 12,000 (completed to date + estimated cost remaining = total cost)
3,000 ÷ 12,000 = .25 or 25% (completed to date ÷ total cost = % completed)
125. Answer A.
25% x 15,000 = 3,750. (percentage of actual cost completed x total contract = $ earned)
This is actual amount earned to date.
