Question 4

Suntex entered into a contract to build a 10-storey building at Kajang in 2018 with a contract price of RM24 million. However, due to acceleration of cost of building material, there is a 10% increase in variation to the contract price from 2019 onwards. This increase in the contract price is allowable under the terms and conditions of the contract. The project began in the 2018 and expected to complete in 2020. It is Suntexs accounting policy to recognise profit based on cost incurred to total estimated cost. The following table shows the position of the contract at the end of the year 2018, 2019 and 2020:
