20X6 Construction costs incurred during the year, $450,000; estimated costs to compete, $190,000; progress billings during the year, $382,500; and collections, $380,000.
20X7 Construction costs incurred during the year, $195,000. Because the contract was completed, the remaining balance was billed and later collected in full per the contract.
