Question - In 2014, Robben Contractors began construction on an office building. The building was expected to cost $45,700,000 in total, and was expected to be completed in early 2016. The customer was to pay Robben $49,900,000 for the building. Robben was able to use percentage-of-completion accounting for the project, and at the end of 2014 had accumulated $12,796,000 in cost.

During 2015, there was a lumber shortage, a strike by construction workers, and various other incidents that dramatically raised costs in the construction industry. As a result, at the end of 2015, Robben estimated that the office building would cost an additional $5,900,000 more than originally estimated. To the end of 2015, Robben had spent $41,280,000 on constructing the office building.
