In 2010, the Top-slice Golf Company decided to augment their very successful line of golf clubs with a new line of professional caliber golf balls. The executives at Top-Slice were aware of the difficulty of penetrating the golf ball market but feel, with their name recognition and the possibility of receiving endorsements from tour professionals that were playing Top-Slice clubs, chances for success were substantial. The company purchased $175 million of equipment and buildings in 2011 to begin production. The Top-Slice golf ball has not performed up to expectations. The tour professionals did not care for the ball and did not endorse it. Significant improvements in golf balls by Callaway and Nike and the continued dominance of the Titleist ProV1 series made entering the market very difficult.

On July 1, 2017, the Board of Directors voted to sell off the golf ball manufacturing division. The company continued to operate the facility at current levels of production until the sale of the division was completed on June 1, 2018. Top-Slice has a April 30 year end and the controller and CEO are concerned about the proper reporting for the disposal of the golf ball manufacturing division in the year-end April 30, 2018 financials. The company wants to issue the financial statements to the public by the end of June 2018.   You are to draft a report to the controller and CEO identifying the issues and accounting choices associated with reporting the disposal and the authoritative guidance that exists to determine the proper manner of reporting the assets, liabilities, and results of operation for the division.
