C) $36,120,000
D) $1,600,000
E) $35,700,000
Income from operations of Discontinued division = $600,000
Income from disposal of discontinued division = $1,000,000
Income tax rate = 30%
Tax on Income from operations of Discontinued division = Income from operations of Discontinued division x Income tax rate
= 600,000 x 30%
= $180,000
Income from operations of Discontinued division, net of taxes = Income from operations of Discontinued division - Tax on Income from operations of Discontinued division
= 600,000 - 180,000
= $420,000
Tax on Income from disposal of discontinued division = Income from disposal of discontinued division x Income tax rate
= 1,000,000 x 30%
= $300,000
Income from disposal of discontinued division, net of taxes = Income from disposal of discontinued division - Tax on Income from disposal of discontinued division
= 1,000,000 - 300,000
= $700,000
Income from Discontinued Operations reported on income statement in 2021 = Income from operations of Discontinued division, net of taxes + Income from disposal of discontinued division, net of taxes
= 420,000 + 700,000
= $1,120,000
Correct option is (B)
