Explanation:

ACCOUNT          DEBIT       CREDIT

Debit Credit Revenues            600,000

Operating Expenses        420,000

Income of Discontinued Operations          200,000  

Restructuring Cost                 100,000

Interest Expense          20,000

Gain on Sale of Investment            30,000

Income Tax Expense         36,000

TOTAL                   $576,000       $830,000

NOTE

Taxable Income 830,000 – 200,000 - 540,000 =90,000

Income tax  Expense =90,000*0.4 = $36,000  (the company income tax rate is 40%)

The $200, 000 was subtracted from the total income of $830,000  before the income tax expense was calculated since it was income earned from discontinued operation.

Total Income = 830, 000 – 576,000 = $254,000

Income from Continuing Operations = 254,000 – 200,000 (Income from discontinued operations) = $54,000  

Therefore the amount that should be reported in the company's income statement as income from continuing operations is $54,000

the interest will be $59.71
