Determine the amount of realized gross profit


Response to the following problem:

Coaster manufactures and sells logging equipment. Due to the nature of its business, Coaster is unable to reliably predict bad debts. During 2014, Coaster sold equipment costing $4,800,000 for $7,200,000. The terms of the sale were 20% down, with equal payments due quarterly over the next 3 years. All payments for 2014 were made on schedule. Round answers to two places. Assuming that Coaster uses the installment-sales method of accounting for its installment sales, what amount of realized gross profit will Coaster report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014?
