Answer:

$10 million

Explanation:

Calculation for the reported profit for the first year of the contract

Using this formula

Reported profit=(BB Costs/Project cost estimate)×(Building contract-Project cost estimate)

Let plug in the formula

Reported profit = ($30 million / $75 million)×($100 million – $75 million)

Reported profit=0.4 million ×25 million

Reported profit= $10 million

Therefore the reported profit for the first year of the contract will be $10 million
