Blossom Tar and Gravel Ltd. operates a road construction business. In its first year of operations, the company won a contract to build
a road for the municipality of Cochrane West. It is estimated that the project will be completed over a three-year period starting in
June 2023. Blossom uses the percentage-of-completion method of recognizing revenue on its long-term construction contracts. For
tax purposes, and in order to postpone the tax on such revenue for as long as possible, Blossom uses the completed-contract method
allowed by the CRA. For the second year of operations, Blossom made progress on the construction of the road for the municipality.
The account balances at December 31, 2024, for the construction project and the accounting and tax balances of accounts related to
the equipment used for construction follow. (The balances at December 31, 2023, are also listed.)
