Solution
Total sales | installment received in 2015 | installment received in 2016 | installment received in 2017 | installment received in 2018 | |
2015 | $900,000 | $300,000 | $300,000 | $300,000 | |
2016 | $1,500,000 | $500,000 | $400,000 | $400,000 |
Gross profit % for :
=(Sales-cost)/sales
2015=(900,000-450,000)/900,000=50%
2016=(1,500,000-900,000)/1,500,000=40%
In 2017 he received:
Installment of 2015 sales=$300,000, on which gross profit %=50%, so recognized profit on 2015 sales:
=$300,000×50%
=$150,000
Also he received $400,000 from 2016 sales, recognized profit on this sale:
=$400,000×40%
=$160,000
So total recognized profit=$150,000+$160,000
=$310,000
