Exercise 4-7 (Algo) Income statement presentation; discontinued operations; restructuring costs [LO4-1, 4-3, 4-4] Esquire Comic Book Company had income before tax of $1,650,000 in 2021 before considering the following material items: Esquire sold one of its operating divisions, which qualified as a separate component according to generally accepted accounting principles. The before-tax loss on disposal was $405,000. The division generated before-tax income from operations from the beginning of the year through disposal of $630,000. The company incurred restructuring costs of $70,000 during the year. Required: Prepare a 2021 income statement for Esquire beginning with income from continuing operations. Assume an income tax rate of 25%. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

Net income = $1,353,750

Note: See the income statement below.

Explanation:

Before preparing the income statement, the following calculations are done first:

Income from operations of discontinued component = Income before-tax generated by the division - Before-tax loss on disposal = $630,000 - $405,000 = $225,000

Income from continuing operations = Income before tax - Restructuring costs = $1,650,000 - $70,000 = $1,580,000

The income statement can now be prepared as follows:
