Discontinued Operations

The Kerr-Graham Corporation had two operating divisions, one manufacturing cooking utensils and the other herb gardens.  Both divisions qualified as separate components of the entity.  On September 15, 2015, the company adopted a plan to sell the assets of the herb garden division.  The actual sale was made on December 8, 2015, at a price of $1.8 million.  The book value of the division's asset was $3 million, resulting in a before-tax loss of $1.2 million on the sale.

The division incurred before-tax operating losses of $300,000 from the beginning of the year to September 15, and $90,000 from September 16 through December 8.  The income tax rate is 40%.  Kerr-Graham's after-tax income from its continuing operations is $1,050,000.
