On August31, 20X8, Gamma Corp. decided to sell its retail division. Upon review of the relevant facts, Gamma decided to account for this division as a discontinued operation. After the asset group was listed for sale, a broker was able to source an offshore buyer for the unit, and on October31, 20X8, Gamma received a binding offer. Gamma agreed to pay a higher-than-expected sales commission due to the unique nature of the offer. Gamma prepares monthly financial statements and reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS.
