accumulated billings to Axelrod under the contract were as follows:

Required:

Compute gross profit or loss to be recognized as a result of this contract for each of the three years. Curtiss concludes that

the contract does not qualify for revenue recognition over time.

recognized in each of the three years.

Assuming Curtiss recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion, compute the amount to be shown in

the balance sheet at the end of $2024$ and $2025$ as either cost in excess of billings or billings in excess of costs.
