Expert Solution
Introduction

The completed contract technique recognizes all revenue and profit connected with a project only when it is completed. When the collection of cash owed from a customer under the terms of a contract is questionable, this strategy is employed. This method produces the same results as the percentage of completion method, but only once a project is finished. This procedure provides no meaningful information to the reader of a company's financial statements until it is completed. The delay in income recognition, on the other hand, permits a company to postpone the payment of corresponding taxes.
