The Journal entry is as follows:

Construction in progress A/c Dr. $950,000

Cost of construction A/c Dr. $1,600,000

To revenue from long term contracts $2,550,000

(To record the revenue in 2018)

Workings:

Cost of construction:

= cost of 2017 + cost of 2018

= $1,100,000 + $500,000

= $1,600,000
