Income Statement, Lower Portion Cunningham Company reports a retained earnings balance of $365,200 at the beginning of 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the company reports pretax income from continuing operations of $150,500.
The following information is also available pertaining to 2010:
1. The company declared and paid a $0.72 cash dividend per share on the 30,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding the entire year.
2. The company found and corrected a pretax $48,000 understatement of 2009 depreciation expense because of a mathematical error.
3. The company incurred a pretax $21,000 loss as a result of an earthquake, which is unusual and infrequent for the area.
4. The company sold Division P (a component of the company) in May. From January through May, Division P had incurred a pretax loss from operations of $33,000. A pretax gain of $15,000 was recognized on the sale of Division P.
