Explanation:

2,000,000/ (2,000,000 + 4,000,000) = 1/3

in 2021 a third of the contract was complete therefore we recognize a third of revenue:

8,000,000 x 1/3 = 2,666,667

we have cost for   2,000,000

income for                666,667

2,500,000 / (2,500,000 + 3,600,000) = 0,4098

we recognize revenues for 40.98 of the total contract value.

8,000,000 x 40.98 = 3.278.400‬

cost                           2,500,000    

income                          778.400‬

2023

we recognize the remaining revenue.

8,000,000 - 2,666,667 - 3,278,400 = 2.054.933‬ revenue

cost 3,800,000

loss   1,745,067‬
