Hutton Construction specializes in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings. The contractor is experienced in bidding long-term construction projects of this type, with the typical project lasting fifteen to twenty-four months. The contractor uses the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition since, given the characteristics of the contractor's business and contracts, it is the most appropriate method. Progress toward completion is measured on a cost to cost basis. Hutton began work on a lump-sum contract at the beginning of 2014. As bid, the statistics were as follows:
Lump-sum price (contract price) $4,000,000
