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.

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.

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.
