Income Statement Presentation:

Income from Continuing Operations $X,XXX
 
Discontinued Operations:  
Income or Loss from Operations, net of tax of $XX $X,XXX
Gain or Loss on Sale, net of tax $XX $X,XXX
Loss on Impairment, net of tax of $XX $XXX
Total Discontinued Operations $XXX
Net Income $X,XXX

The $ amount reported on the statement = the gain or loss before tax x 1 less the tax rate

$100,000 x (1 – 0.40 = 0.60) = $60,000

Computed EPS for each component of income separately reported after Income from Continuing Operations.

Practice Problem: Prepare the Income Statement

The company reported income from continuing operations of $1,200,000 before considering the following items:

1) Expenses incurred this period from closing retail stores: $500,000
2) Expenses expected to be incurred in future periods from closing retail stores – no set plan as of yet $300,000
3) Income from an operating division that is held for sale: $220,000

Impairment loss on D.O. $180,000 $ 72,000 $108,000
