Question: On September 1, 2016, Jacob Furniture Mart enters into a tentative agreement to sell the assets of its office equipment division.

The book value of the division's assets was $19.27 million at the end of the year.
Required: Under these assumptions, what would Jacob report in its 2016 income statement regarding the office equipment division?
