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:

  1. Top (outboard powerhead)
  2. Mid-section
  3. Outboard lower unit

Midwest Mechanical Corporation has organized their business into three main divisions aligning with the three main sections of the outboard motor.

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 Corporation's 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.
