Contract Costing

Contract costing is about tracing particular costs related to a particular contract entered into with the customer. It is one of the forms of job order costing. It is useful in long-term contracts at the most. It is seen that substantial time is required for the completion of the contract which takes different accounting periods. Thus, it is very much helpful for recognizing the costs associated with it and accounting in their specific accounting periods.

Jeff Heun, president of Ayayai Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Ayayai Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $195,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $44,000 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $11,000 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs, that there is 50% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 20% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.
