The current billing schedule of IS1 is as follows:

  • Total Amount: $24,000.00

  • Actual Amount: $17,000.00

  • Billed Amount: $20,000.00

  • Unbilled Amount: -$3,000.00

  • Invoice schedule item 1:

    • Amount: $20,000.00

    • Actual Amount To Bill: $20,000.00

    • Billed Amount: $20,000.00

  • Invoice schedule item 2:

    • Amount: $4,000.00

    • Actual Amount To Bill: -$3,000.00

    • Billed Amount: -

The Actual Amount of IS1 is different from the Total Amount because the term of C2 was reduced from 12 months to 5 months.

Actual Amount = $12,000.00+($10,000.00-($12,000.00÷12)×5) = $17,000.00

In the equation above, ($12,000.00÷12)×5 represents the credit for C2’s removed service period from 1 June 2025 to 31 October 2025.

The Unbilled Amount is negative because the credit of C2 is greater than the unbilled amount of C1.

Unbilled Amount = ($12,000.00-$10,000.00)-($12,000.00÷12)×5=-$3,000.00

In the equation above, $12,000.00-$10,000.00 represents the unbilled amount of C1 for the service period from 1 November 2025 to 31 December 2025.
