Bryan followed in his father’s footsteps and entered into the carpet business. He owns and operates I Do Carpet (IDC). Bryan prefers to install carpet only, but in order to earn additional revenue, he also cleans carpets and sells carpet-cleaning supplies.   IDC contracted with a homebuilder in December of last year to install carpet in 10 new homes being built. The contract price of $87,500 includes $53,000 for materials (carpet). The remaining $34,500 is for IDC’s service of installing the carpet. The contract also stated that all money was to be paid up front. The homebuilder paid IDC in full on December 28 of last year. The contract required IDC to complete the work by January 31 of this year. Bryan purchased the necessary carpet on January 2 and began working on the first home January 4.

  1. IDC contracted with a homebuilder in December of last year to install carpet in 10 new homes being built. The contract price of $87,500 includes $53,000 for materials (carpet). The remaining $34,500 is for IDC’s service of installing the carpet. The contract also stated that all money was to be paid up front. The homebuilder paid IDC in full on December 28 of last year.

He completed the last home on January 27 of this year.
  2. IDC entered into several other contracts this year and completed the work before year-end. The work cost $160,000 in materials, and IDC elects to immediately deduct supplies. Bryan billed out $243,000 but only collected $220,000 by year-end. Of the $23,000 still owed to him, Bryan wrote off $3,750 he didn’t expect to collect as a bad debt from a customer experiencing extreme financial difficulties.
  3. IDC entered into a three-year contract to clean the carpets of an office building.
