The company’s controller, however, has asked for your help in determining the appropriate treatment of the following nonrecurring transactions that also occurred during 2018 ($ in 000s). All transactions are material in amount. Investments were sold during the year at a loss of $380. Schembri also had unrealized gains of $480 for the year on investments. One of the company’s factories was closed during the year. Restructuring costs incurred were $1,900. During the year, Schembri completed the sale of one of its operating divisions that qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The division had incurred a loss from operations of $700 in 2018 prior to the sale, and its assets were sold at a gain of $1,720. In 2018, the company’s accountant discovered that depreciation expense in 2017 for the office building was understated by $360. Negative foreign currency translation adjustment for the year totaled $400. Required: 1. Prepare Schembri’s single, continuous multiple-step statement of comprehensive income for 2018, including earnings per share disclosures. One million shares of common stock were outstanding at the beginning of the year and an additional 400,000 shares were issued on July 1, 2018. 2.
