    @kanwal and @Patel I can so relate. I just took FAR and my sister ask how it went and all I could say was BRUTAL. I got so many question in one area that I only glanced over and didn't even see one question on the one area I just knew was going to be on the exam. I almost cried when I looked at the SIMS but I felt confident about the research question. At this point I really don't know what to expect on score release day. I have AUD booked for 7/2 and I'm just going to keep moving. I can't stand to look at anymore FAR material. And I'll just plan for a retake later. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

    @everyone who took the exam on the 28th…would you say it was more computational or conceptual? What tips can you give someone testing in a few day?

    My exam was 60% computational and 40% concepts. Govt./NFP was tested heavily, even IFRS was handful and couple left field. I'll say try to know at least 90% of FAR if not 100%. Definitely know J/E.

    Thanks @kanwal I'm pretty good with governmental as I am using a mnemonic similar to the one you posted on a different thread. Was that mnemonic enough for you to breeze through the questions?

    Frame Construction Company's contract requires the construction of a bridge in 3 years. The expected total cost of the bridge is $2,000,000, and Frame will receive $2,500,000 for the project. The actual costs incurred to complete the project were $500,000, $900,000, and $600,000, respectively, during each of the 3 years. Progress payments received by Frame were $600,000, $1,200,000, and $700,000, respectively. Assuming that the percentage-of-completion method is used, what amount of gross profit would Frame report during the last year of the project?
    A.
    $120,000
    B.
    $125,000
    C.
    $140,000
    D.
    $150,000

    expected gross profit = 500,000 (2.5 m – 2m)
    Actual project costs = (500k+900k+600k)= 2 m
    Y1 % completion = 500k/2m = 25% –> cumulative profit = 25% * 500K = $ 125 k
    Y2 % complettion = (500k+900k)/2m = 70%–> cumulative profit = 70% * 500k = 350 K
    Y3 % completion = 100%-70% = 30% –> cumulative profit =30% * 500K = 150 K

    why don't you deduct the previous income from year 2 & 3 ????????

    An entity authorized 500,000 shares of common stock. At January 1, Year 2, the entity had 110,000 shares of common stock issued and 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The entity had the following transactions in Year 2:

    March 1 Issued 15,000 shares of common stock
    June 1 Resold 2,500 shares of treasury stock
    September 1 Completed a 2-for-1 common stock split
    What is the total number of shares of common stock that the entity has outstanding at the end of Year 2?

    A.
    117,500

    B.
    230,000

    C.
    235,000

    D.
    250,000

    Answer is C. can anyone explain to me when you add or subtract to shares issued/outstanding? Is it if you issue more shares, that adds to the number outstanding. And for treasury, if you resell them that adds to outstanding, but if you buy your own treasury that deducts from outstanding? Also, why don't we multiply the 15,000 *(10/12) since it was issued in march, and theres 10 months left in the year?Same with the treasury (7/12)?
