Sayaka Tar and Gravel Ltd. operates a road construction business. In its first year of operations, the company won a contract to build a road for the municipality of Cochrane West. It is estimated that the project will be completed over a three-year period starting in June 2020.

Contract Asset/Liability (net of billings to date of $400,000)......100,000
