The key takeaways are that the percentage of completion and cost recovery methods are approaches for recognizing revenue and gross profit over time for long-term construction contracts. The percentage of completion method recognizes revenue and gross profit based on the proportion of costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs, while the cost recovery method only recognizes revenue up to the amount of costs incurred.
Under the percentage of completion method, revenue and gross profit are recognized over time based on the proportion of costs incurred compared to total estimated costs. Progress billings and collections are recorded, with the difference between billings and recognized revenue reported as an asset or liability. Gross profit is calculated at each reporting date based on the cost and revenue recognized to date.
The percentage of completion method recognizes revenue and gross profit over time based on costs incurred, while the cost recovery method only recognizes revenue up to the amount of costs incurred, with no gross profit recognized until all costs are recovered. The percentage of completion method more accurately matches revenue with the work performed, while the cost recovery method is more conservative.
