A. $312,000.
B. $372,000.
C. $492,000.
D. $620,000.
Answer:
Option C. $492,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The Total Operating Income is:
Operating Income From Continuing Operation $620,000
Unusual Gain $200,000
Total Income $820,000
The unusual gain will be included in the operating income as it is related to operating income.
The net income from continuing operation will be net of tax which means that:
Net Income after tax = $820,000 * (1 - 40%) = $492,000
