Wooster Company imports and sells a product produced in Canada. In the summer of 2021, a natural disaster disrupted production, affecting its supply of product. On January 1, 2021, Wooster's inventory records were as follows:

Year purchased Quantity (units) Cost per unit Total cost
2019 5,000 $150 $750,000
2020 10,000 $200 2,000,000
Total 15,000 $2,750,000

Through the mid-December of 2021, purchases were limited to 14,000 units, because the cost had increased to $300 per unit. Wooster sold 18,000 units during 2021 at a price of $400 per unit, which significantly depleted its inventory.

Assume that Wooster purchases 20,000 more of the $300 units on December 31, 2021. Wooster uses the FIFO inventory method.
