1.		The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $93,500 during the year.
2.		At the beginning of 2015, the corporation purchased a machine for $61,200 (salvage value of $10,200) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2015, 2016, and 2017, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
3.		Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $60,800 (pretax).
4.		When its president died, the corporation realized $160,300 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of $41,790 (the gain is nontaxable).
5.		The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $113,760 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.
6.		The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2015 income by $62,460 and decrease 2016 income by $19,270 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2017. The tax rate on these items is 40%.
