Amortization of identifiable intangibles	$140,000
Depreciation of building	119,000
Loss from discontinued operations	46,000
Unusual, non-recurring gains	157,000
Profit-sharing payments to employees	69,300

Lush Industries Ltd. would like to purchase B52 Corporation. In trying to measure B52s normalized earnings for 2020, Lush determines that the buildings fair value is triple the book value and that its remaining economic life is double the life that B52 is using. Lush would continue the profit-sharing payments to employees, with the payments being based on income from continuing operations before amortization and depreciation.

Required

Calculate the 2020 normalized earnings amount of B52 Corporation that Lush would use to calculate goodwill.
