Answer:

deferred gross profit =$ 453,000

and realized gross profit is $453,000

Explanation:

from the information given in the question , the required profit is related with deferred gross profit.

step 1 calculate gross profit percentage

[tex]Gross\ profit\ percentage =\frac{ (Installment\ sales - Cost\ of\ installment\ sales)}{ Installment\ sales}[/tex]

                                       [tex]= \frac{5,000,000 - 4,000,000}{5,000,000}[/tex]

                                       = 20%        

step 2 calculate deferred gross profit

deferred profit = (Total  sales of installment - down payment )  × profit percentage

Deferred profit = 5,000,000 - 470,000 - 2,265,000) × 20%

where $2,265,000 represents  1st equal installment of remaining balance

deferred gross profit =$ 453,000

and realized gross profit is $453,000
