Be sure you remove the discontinued sales, cost of goods old and selling and general expenses from the continuing operations section of the income statement. Discontinued items are currently in the amounts shown. All discontinued items for the entire year must be removed to arrive at Net income from continuing operations. One thing you must really watch is whether discontinued operations are still in the body of the income statement (and thus have to be removed, as in this problem) or have they already been pulled.

Anticipated losses on sales of discontinued assets must be provided for, but no entry may be made for anticipated gains.
