  2017 2018 2019 Total
Estimated costs $4,000,000 $9,600,000 $5,000,000 $18,600,000


The city paid $8,000,000 when the contract was signed and will pay $6,200,000 on January 1, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Required:
Calculate the amount of revenue and expense that Sahtlam would recognize in each year of the contract using the percentage-of-completion and zero-profit methods. Assume the actual costs incurred equal the estimated costs. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round final answers to nearest whole dollar amount. Enter your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.)
