Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

Total expected costs = cost incurred to date + estimated cost to complete

= 1,200,000 + 3,600,000

= 4,800,000

[tex]Percentage of completion=\frac{Cost\ incurred\ to\ date}{Total\ expected\ cost}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Percentage of completion=\frac{1,200,000}{4,800,000}\times 100[/tex]

= 0.25

= 25%

Profit = contract revenue - Total expected costs

= $6,000,000 - 4,800,000

= $1,200,000

Cumulative gross profit = Profit × Percentage of completion

= $1,200,000 × 0.25

= $300,000

Therefore, Red Builders should have recognized profit at the end of year 1 in the amount of $300,000.
