520000 loss

2970000 gain

3490000 loss

$3490000 loss

$2970000 gain

Answer 1

Gain on sale of assets of discontinued division, net of taxes = $2,970,000

Loss on operations of discontinued division, net of taxes = $3,490,000

Since both the gains and loss relate to discontinued division, hence none of the above will be shown under income from continuing operations.

Income Statement
Discontinued operations:
Gain on sale of assets of discontinued division, net of taxes	2,970,000
Loss on operations of discontinued division, net of taxes	-3,490,000
Loss	$520,000

Second option is correct.

520000 loss.
