Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Companies must use the percentage-of-completion method when estimates of progress toward completion can be estimated reliably. The Construction in Process account includes only construction costs under the percentage-of-completion method. In a multiple-deliverable arrangement, once the separate units of accounting are determined, the amount paid for the arrangement is allocated among the separate units based on relative fair value.
