Answer 1

$13.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Gain from sale of assets:

= sales value of assets - Book value of assets

= $80 - $48 million

= $32 million

Net gain of footwear's division at December 31:

= Gain from sale of assets - Operating losses

= $32 million - $10 million

= $22 million

Income from discontinued operations:

= Net gain at December 31 - Tax @40%

= $22 million - (40% × $22 million)

= $22 million - $8.8 million

= $13.2 million
