    It appears from the problem that the transaction resembles with installment sales. It would be prudent to calculate deferred gross profit on the transaction and record the realized gross profit on the installments received.

    Another aspect may be like a lease type sale. In this case, there can be a gross profit on sale as well as interest income.
