Eastern Aviation operated both an airline and several restaurants located near airports. During the year just ended, all restaurant operations were discontinued and the following operating results were reported.

All of these amounts are before income taxes unless indicated otherwise. The company’s income tax rate is 40 percent. The nonrecurring loss resulted from damage to a warehouse that is not related to the discontinued restaurant operations. Eastern Aviation had 1,000,000 shares of capital stock outstanding throughout the year.
