Suppose a Johnson store in Ottawa, Ontario, ended November 2014 with 800,000 units of merchandise that cost an average of $8 each. Suppose the store then sold 600,000 units for $5.0 million during December. Further, assume the store made two large purchases during December as follows:

1. At December 31, the store manager needs to know the store's gross profit under both FIFO and weighted-average cost. Supply this information. Johnson uses the periodic inventory system.
2. What caused the FIFO and weighted-average cost gross profit figures to differ?
