Calculate net income and prepare the income statement starting with income from continuing operations.

Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

Loss from operations = $500 000

Loss (sale of assets) = $1000 000 - $800 000 = $200 000

Income from continuing operations after tax = $2000 000, Therefore income from continuing operations before tax is equal to $200 000 x 100/60 = 3 333 333.333

Net Income before tax = 3 333 333.333  -  500 000 - 200 000

Net Income before tax == 2633 333.333

Net Income After Tax = 2633 333.333 x 60/100 = $1580 000
