Question:

Stone By Stone Ltd ('SBS') is a construction company involved in several building contracts. Details of two of the contracts in progress at the company's year end of 31 December 2012 are as follows.

\section*{Patterson Palace}

This contract was originally negotiated in March 2010 at a price of \(£ 10.5 \mathrm{~m}\). In a bid to ensure speedy completion, an additional \(5 \%\) incentive payment was included in the contract for completion by 31 March 2012.

During 2011, Lady Patterson amended the specification and both parties agreed that an increase of \(£ 0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) should be made to the contract price. The incentive payment was also to apply to this variation.

At 31 December 2012, the contract is \(95 \%\) complete and the engineers are confident it will be completed by mid-March 2013.

\section*{McLeod Mansion}

This contract to construct a futuristic building was secured in January 2011 after a long period of tender and negotiation. SBS has estimated the total costs of the contract to be:

It is company policy to provide \(5 \%\) of total costs for rectification and guarantee work.
Of the \(£ 620,000\) contract tender costs, \(£ 512,000\) were incurred and written off to the statement of comprehensive income in the year to 31 December 2011.
