In addition to the preceding account balances, you have available the following information:
In the middle of December 2016, the company incurred a material $5,500 pretax loss as a result of a flood of a river that floods once every 10 years.
While making its December 31, 2016, adjusting entries, the company conducted an analysis of its recent favorable experience with uncollectible accounts receivable, and decided to reduce the percentage used in computing bad debt expense. The use of the new percentage resulted in the $1,900 bad debt expense being $500 less than the amount that would have been calculated using the old percentage.
On April 1, 2016, the company sold Division M (a component of the company), which had been unprofitable for several years. For the first 3 months of 2016, Division M had incurred a pretax operating loss of $8,800. Division M was sold at a pretax loss of $7,500.
The company paid cash dividends of $0.90 per share on its common stock. All the stock was outstanding for the entire year.
The company is subject to a 30% income tax rate. The $19,560 Income Tax Expense account balance consists of $21,210 tax on income from continuing operations, less a $1,650 tax credit on the loss because of the flood. It does not include tax credits of $2,640 on the operating loss of Division M, or $2,250 on the loss from sale of Division M.
