Hey Kanika,

 

According to me the solution is:

 

First calculate the estimated profit, which is:

 

Cost of Work certified: 85000

Cost of work uncertified: 15000

Estimated further expenses: 100000

Total: 600000

Prov for contin (2.5% of total exp) 15000

Total Expenses: 615000

(-) Contract Price : 700000

Estimated Profit: 85000

 

Profit to be taken to P&L = Esti Profit * (work certified / estimated price) * (cash recd / work certified)

Profit to be taken to P&L = 85000 * (550000 / 700000) * (500000 / 550000)

Rs. 60714.29 (approx).

 

Please check and revert back whether its correct or not??
