Answer 1

A) Impairment loss= Net Book Value of the Component- (Fair Value of the Component-Estimated Disposal Costs)

=2750000-(2500000-100000) = 350000

Impairment loss net of tax=(350000-21% *350000)

=350000-73500=276500

B) Gain/Loss on Discontinued Operations (net of tax) =[Operating Income (pre-tax) Jan 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2017 -Impairment loss] *(1-tax rate)

=(438000-350000)*79%

=69520

C) Income from Continuing Operations = 1500000*(1-TAX RATE)

=1500000*(1-.21) = 1500000*.79= 1185000

D) Gain/Loss from Discontinued Operations (net) ={( operating income of the discontinued component from Jan 1 – Jun 30,2018 ) + GAIN ON SALE OF DISCONTINUED COMPONENT }* (1- TAX RATE)

= {120000 + (2600000-2400000)}* (1-.21)=(120000+200000)*.79

= 252800
