Solution

a) To find income from operations

Gross profit = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold

Gross profit = $ 312,580 - $ 140,110

Gross profit = $172,470

Less ( selling and administrative expense) - $46,800

Add ( gain on sale of plant assets) + $ 30,970

Income from operations = $172,470 - $46,800 + $ 30,970

Income from operations = $ 156,590

b) To find net income

Income from operation = $ 156,590

Income before income tax = $ 151,130

Less : Loss on discontinued operations ( $ 11,850)

Net Income = $ 139,280

C) Comprehensive income = Net income + unrealized gain on available for sale investments

Comprehensive income = $ 149,830
