Calaculation of amount of income interest expense and Income on the discontinued operations:
The correct option is
Explanation:
Given
Income before continuing operations = $200000
Income on discontinued operations = $80000
Tax rate = 20%
While presenting income statement
• income tax expense comprises of only the tax on income from continuing operations irrespective of total interest interest expense.
• income on discontinued operations should be presented as net of taxes
That implies,
Income tax expense
= (income from continuing operations × tax rate)
= $200000×20%
= $40000
Income on discontinued operations, net of taxes
= $80000 - ($80000×20%)
= $80000 - $16000
= $64000
Presentation of income statement is as follows
| Income from continuing operations before taxes | $200000 |
| Less: income tax expense | ($40000) |
| Income from continuing operations | $160000 |
| Discontinued operations: | |
| Income on discontinued operations, net of taxes | $64000 |
| Net income | $224000 |
