Background: You have recently been hired as the new staff accountant at Midwest Mechanical Corporation. Midwest Mechanical Corporation is a $35 million (annual sales) company. The company machines parts for small outboard (boat) motors. The accounting department consists of the controller, staff accountant (you), and a parts manager (responsible for inventory accounting).
Outboard motors consist of three main sections. These include:
- Top (outboard powerhead)
- Mid-section
- Outboard lower unit

At the end of 2020 Midwest Mechanical Corporation leadership team prepared the following business update for each division. Midwest Mechanicals customers consist primarily of independent boat repair shops in the Upper-Midwest.
Powerhead Division The Powerhead Division has experienced a steady decline in sales as well as a drop in gross margin. The complexity involved in machining parts for outboard powerhead far exceeds the level of expertise needed to machine parts in the other areas of an outboard motor. Midwest Mechanical Corporation has one machinist who has the necessary skills for this type of work. Unfortunately, this machinist plans to retire on July 15, 2021. Due to the relatively high cost of machining powerhead parts, the industry has experienced a new trend in customer behavior. Customers that need powerhead repairs involving the machining parts, are simply junking their outboard motor and buying new.
Midsection Division The Midsection Division has seen a slight increase in sales and gross margin. The skills of the machinists at Midwest Mechanical Corporation meet or exceed the required level of expertise to do this work. The cost of repair has proven to be a good economical solution for customers hoping to avoid purchasing a new outboard motor.
Lower Unit Division The Lower Unit Division has seen a solid increase in sales over the past few years. Machinists complete work on lower units quickly and a minimal level of expertise is required. The quick turnaround (fixing lower unit and getting the outboard motor back into the hands of the customer) makes repair the best option for customers. Damage to the lower unit parts is normally associated with less experienced boaters. The boating industry has seen an uptick in sales and expects this trend to continue.
Other Midwest Mechanical Corporation has a side business machining one-off parts for ATVs. Individual ATV owners often have a hard time finding machinists for parts repair. Generally, the level of expertise required for these repairs fits the skill set of Midwest Mechanical Corporations machinist. Midwest Mechanical Corporations leadership team believes that ATV parts repair could be a good fit for the company. Nationally, ATV sales have experienced double-digit growth. ATV customers appear to have more disposable income than boat owners and are happy to pay more for fast turnaround of repairs.
Current Events In February 2021, Midwest Mechanical Corporation announced to their customers that they will no longer service/machine the powerhead portion of outboard motors as of June 30, 2021. In the announcement, Midwest Mechanical was careful to remind customers the work they will continue (detailing to the customers the specific types of machining jobs completed for the midsection and lower unit).
On June 30, 2021, Midwest Mechanical Corporation sold specific equipment only used to machine powerhead parts. Specifically, they sold equipment that had a cost of $2.5 million and accumulated depreciation of $2.2 million. The equipment was sold for $2 million dollars.
For the first six months of 2021, Midwest Mechanical Corporations Powerhead Division had sales of $4.8 million and COGS of $3.7 million.

Situation: The controller has requested that you prepare a correct version of the income statement. The income statement on page 2 was automatically generated by the company's SAP accounting system. The problem is that the "system" did not properly account for the "Discontinued Operations," which of course is the Powerhead Division.
Prepare the income statement correctly breaking out the impact of discontinued operations. Note: A 35% tax rate is applied to both continuing and discontinued income.
