Grouper Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2017 of $791,900. Additional transactions occurring in 2017 but not considered in the $791,900 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $91,900 during the year.
2. At the beginning of 2015, the corporation purchased a machine for $81,000 (salvage value of $13,500) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2015, 2016, and 2017, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $62,300 (pretax).
4. When its president died, the corporation realized $162,700 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of $48,960 (the gain is nontaxable).
5. The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $112,400 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.
6. The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2015 income by $59,080 and decrease 2016 income by $21,140 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2017. The tax rate on these items is 40%.


Prepare an income statement for the year 2017 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. Common shares outstanding for the year are 129,730 shares. (Assume a tax rate of 30% on all items, unless indicated otherwise.) (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

impco, a retailer, makes both cash and credit sales (i.e., sales on open account). Information regarding budgeted sales for the last quarter of the year is as follows: October November December Cash sales $ 140,000 $ 115,000 $ 105,000 Credit sales 140,000 138,000 115,500 Total $ 280,000 $ 253,000 $ 220,500 Past experience shows that 5% of credit sales are uncollectible. Of the credit sales that are collectible, 60% are collected in the month of sale; the remaining 40% are collected in the month following the month of sale. Customers are granted a 1.5% discount for payment within 10 days of billing. Approximately 75% of collectible credit sales take advantage of the cash discount. Inventory purchases each month are 100% of the cost of the following month’s projected sales. (The gross profit rate for Timpco is approximately 30%.) All merchandise purchases are made on credit, with 20% paid in the month of purchase and the remainder paid in the following month. No cash discounts for early payment are in effect. Required: 1. Calculate the budgeted total cash receipts for November and December. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 2. Calculate budgeted cash disbursements for November and December (budgeted total sales for January of the coming year equals $205,000).
