Exercise 4-8 Discontinued operations; disposal in subsequent year [LO4-4]

Kandon Enterprises, Inc., has two operating divisions; one manufactures machinery and the other breeds and sells horses. Both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The horse division has been unprofitable, and on November 15, 2018, Kandon adopted a formal plan to sell the division. The sale was completed on April 30, 2019. At December 31, 2018, the component was considered held for sale.

On December 31, 2018, the company’s fiscal year-end, the book value of the assets of the horse division was $272,000. On that date, the fair value of the assets, less costs to sell, was $220,000. The before-tax loss from operations of the division for the year was $160,000. The company’s effective tax rate is 40%. The after-tax income from continuing operations for 2018 was $420,000.

Required:

1. Prepare a partial income statement for 2018 beginning with income from continuing operations. Ignore EPS disclosures.

Final answer:

The partial income statement includes income from continuing operations of $420,000, a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $212,000, a tax benefit of $84,800, resulting in a net loss from discontinued operations of $127,200, and a net income of $292,800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kandon Enterprises, Inc., following generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), must report the disposal of a segment of its business as a discontinued operation. The partial income statement for the year 2018 will reflect the results from continuing operations and separately present the results from discontinued operations that include the operation losses and the impairment loss due to the revaluation of the horse division's assets.

Income from Continuing Operations: $420,000

Discontinued Operations:

Loss from operations of horse division (before tax): ($160,000)

Impairment loss: ($272,000 book value - $220,000 fair value) = ($52,000)

Total loss from discontinuing operations before tax: ($160,000 + $52,000) = ($212,000)

Tax benefit on loss (40% of $212,000): $84,800

Net loss from discontinued operations: ($212,000 - $84,800) = ($127,200)

Net Income (income from continuing operations minus net loss from discontinued operations): ($420,000 - $127,200) = $292,800

The operation loss and impairment loss create a combined total pre-tax loss which then benefits from a tax benefit at the effective tax rate to yield the net loss from discontinued operations. This net loss is then subtracted from the income from continuing operations to arrive at the net income for 2018.
