residential client hired a general contractor (GC) to construct a major $3 million executive home. The client contracted separately with a reputable architect for the design. After the permit was obtained, the architect’s contract was closed out. During the course of construction, the owner and the city had requested several changes, but none of them were formalized into the contract. Many of these were additive but some were also deductive changes. Many of the changes were due to building code changes. Because the general contractor understood this to be a time and materials (T&M) project, they had not felt it was necessary to submit change orders against a “budgeted” amount. The GC had previously invoiced and received 67% of the original budget, or $2 million, from the owner. These invoices were all reviewed and approved by the lender. At approximately 90% completion, the GC invoiced the owner for the full 100% amount of the original $3 million estimate. When pressed, the GC indicated that the project will overrun the budget by approximately $500,000.
The owner and the GC disagree. The owner refuses to approve the current pay request. Can he do that? The GC pulls off the job and refuses to do any more work until the owner agrees to the revised budget of $3.5 million and pays the $1 million now due. Can the contractor legally do that?
The owner dismisses the GC at this point. Both parties sue each other.

What amount should be recorded in the building account?Discuss the three questions for the following scenario, in very short answers: Recording and Reporting of Damaged Capital Assets. A tornado damaged a part of the City of Westbrook's Police Station. Some of the costs related to the damage included the following: The building wiring had to be replaced. Since the wiring was over 20 years old, replacing the wiring allowed the city to bring the wiring up to current code and accommodate the increasing technology needs of the police station. A large section of the interior walls (dry-wall) had to be replaced and painted. The same type of material was used in replacing the interior walls. All hardwood floors were replaced with the same materials. Office furniture that had been gathered for transfer to the city's surplus storage facility was damaged beyond repair. Replacement furniture was on order but had not been received by the date of the tornado. The police station's radio dispatch equipment suffered water damage. 1. Discuss how to…Jax Construction Company plans to erect a new building. It will use part of the space for its own offices and lease the balance of the space to tenants. The company has two alternatives: (1) do its own construction work or (2) use an independent contractor. Cost estimates have been prepared to show the costs of operation for the coming year during which the new building will be constructed. The costs of constructing the building, if done by Jax, are included in that set of estimates. If the company does its own construction work, it will not be able to handle outside construction contracts that would contribute $500,000 to net income. The costs attributable to these outside contracts are excluded from the estimated costs of operation shown below.

- A city builds sidewalks throughout its various neighborhoods at a cost of $2.1 million. Which of the following is not true? Because the sidewalks qualify as infrastructure, the asset is viewed in the same way as land so that no depreciation is recorded. Depreciation is required unless the modified approach is utilized.

The modified approach is allowed only if the city maintains the network of sidewalks at least at a predetermined condition.9.

- Discuss: Special Business Forms and Contract Liability The city of Papagos, Arizona, had a deteriorating bridge in need of repair on a prominent public roadway. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Davidson Masonry, LLC—owned and managed by Carl Davidson and his wife, Marilyn Rowe—decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Shana Lafayette, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal creations, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Davidson Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent going to Lafayette and 75 percent…The city of Papagos, Arizona, had a deteriorating bridge in need of repair on a prominent public roadway.

Which, if either, of the above issues should be included in contract revenue, according to IAS 11, Construction Contracts? a. Neither issue b. Issue (1) only c. Issue (2) only d. Both issue (1) and issue (2)Tones Company purchased a warehouse in a downtown district where land values are rapidly increasing. Gerald Carter, the controller, and Wilma Ankara, financial vice president, are trying to allocate the cost of the purchase between the land and the building. Noting that depreciation can be taken only on the building, Carter favors placing a very high proportion of the cost on the warehouse itself, thus reducing taxable income and income taxes. Ankara, his supervisor, argues that the allocation should recognize the increasing value of the land, regardless of the depreciation potential of the warehouse. Besides, she says, net income is negatively impacted by additional depreciation and will cause the company's stock price to go down. Instructions: Answer the following questions: (a) What stakeholder interests are in conflict? (b) What ethical issues does Carter face? (c) How should these costs be allocated?
