    We will not give you the answer. You need to submit your own work for further guidance.

    However, as a guide to help you:
    (1) Read your text book for entries to be made
    (2) Cost of Installment sales is Purchases less Ending Inventory
    (3) Unrealized gross profit is (Sales - Cost of Sales)/Sales
    (4) Realized gross profit is Cash collected x Gross profit rate
