Explanation:

Calculation for What amount of gross profit should Black Bear recognize in 2017 using the percentage-of-completion method

First step is to calculate the Total estimated contract costs at 2016

Total estimated contract costs at 2016=$3,780,000+$1,620,000

Total estimated contract costs at 2016=$5,400,000

Second step is to calculate the Percentage of completion

Percentage of completion = $3,780,000 / ($3,780,000+$1,620,000)

Percentage of completion =$3,780,000 / $5,400,000

Percentage of completion =0.7*100

Percentage of completion =70%

Now let calculate the gross profit

Using this formula

Gross profit=Percentage of completion *(Contract Price-Total estimated contract costs at 2016)

Let plug in the formula

Gross profit=70%*($6,000,000-$5,400,000)

Gross profit=70%*$600,000

Gross profit=$150,000

Therefore amount of gross profit should Black Bear recognize in 2017 using the percentage-of-completion method will be $150,000
