Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Using the percentage-of-completion method (which is an accounting method or technique in which the earnings and expenses of contracts that are of long-term basis are documented as a percentage of the completed work during a particular period.)

Total costs = Incurred costs + estimated costs to complete = $8 million + $12 million = $20 million

Revenue to recognize = $8m/$20m*$28m = $11.2 million

Gross Profit = Revenue recognized less costs incurred

= $11.2m - $8m = $3.2 million
