Particluars Amount ($)
Loss from discountinued operations of (net of tax) 890,000
Loss on sale of discontinued business component 150,000

(b) Eggleton Ltd. should classify the discontinued operations of Danton as assets held for sale for the current period as well as all the prior period(s) being presented in the Balance sheet. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations shall be presented separately in assets and liability sections, respectively.

(c) No. ASPE doesnot apply to investments, including equity method accounted investments. In the given situation since Eggleton Ltd, is disposing off the investments held in Danton Televisions Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, APSE cannot be applied to the situation and hence the normal provisions of IFRS 5 applies
