I'm looking on how to calculate the operations of discontinued component
For the individual question listed below with a fair value 400000
The steps that I have taken is
operations of discontinued component
the operations of discontinued component =400000-250000=150000
=(150000-140000)=10,000
The answer tells me thatIt should be viewed as a loss and a tax benefit should be captured but I don't understand. If I adjust for a fair value of $400,000. And keep all the other variables the same I may be miss reading this question but I would appreciate any help.
