On September 17, 2021, Ziltech, Inc., entered into an agreement
to sell one of its divisions that qualifies as a component of the
entity according to generally accepted accounting principles. By
December 31, 2021, the company’s fiscal year-end, the division had
not yet been sold, but was considered held for sale. The net fair
value (fair value minus costs to sell) of the division’s assets at
the end of the year was $16 million. The pretax income from
operations of the division during 2021 was $4 million. Pretax
income from continuing operations for the year totaled $19 million.
The income tax rate is 25%. Ziltech reported net income for the
year of $7.5 million.
Required:
Determine the book value of the division's assets on December 31,
2021. (Enter your answer in whole dollars not in
millions.)
Net income = $7.5 million
Tax rate = 25%
Therefore, pre-tax income = 7.5 million/75% = $10 million
However,
Total pre-tax income = Pre-tax income of the division + pre-tax income from continued operation
= $4 million + $19 million
= $23 million
Loss on sale of division recognised = $23 million - 10 million
= $13 million
Book value of assets = Net fair value of the assets at the end of the year
+ Loss on sale of division recognised
= $16 million + $13 million
= $29 million
