Question:
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, 2013, Kandon
adopted a formal plan to sell the division. The sale was completed on April 30, 2014. At December 31,
2013, the component was considered held for sale.
On December 31, 2013, the company’s fiscal year-end, the book value of the assets of the horse division
was $250,000. On that date, the fair value of the assets, less costs to sell, was $200,000. The before-tax
loss from operations of the division for the year was $140,000. The company’s effective tax rate is 40%.
The after-tax income from continuing operations for 2013 was $400,000.
Required:
1. Prepare a partial income statement for 2013 beginning with income from continuing operations. Ignore
EPS disclosures.
2. Repeat requirement 1 assuming that the estimated net fair value of the horse division’s assets was
$400,000, instead of $200,000.
