Chapter12 INCOME AND CHANGES IN RETAINED EARNINGS
Normal, recurring revenue and expense transactions. Unusual, nonrecurring events that affect net income. 1. Results of discontinued operations. 2. Impact of extraordinary items. 3. Effects of changes in accounting principles. Reporting the Results of Operations Information about net income can be divided into two major categories Income from continuing operations.
This tax expense does not include effects of unusual, nonrecurring items. These unusual, nonrecurring items are each reported net of taxes.
Discontinued Operations: When a company has a discontinued operation, it must report the income or loss from operating a segment that has been discontinued, and the gain or loss on the sale of the segment net of taxes. • Extraordinary items are gains and losses that are both unusual and infrequent in occurrence. Some examples include losses from natural disasters and expropriation of property by a foreign government. Extraordinary items are also reported net of taxes.
