Transcribed Image Text: Maher Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2020 of $790,000.
Additional transactions occurring in 2020 but not considered in the $790,000 are as follows.
1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $90,000 during the
year.
2. At the beginning of 2018, the corporation purchased a machine for $54,000 (salvage value
of $9,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation
for 2018, 2019, and 2020, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the
depreciation base.
3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $57,000 (pretax).
4. When its president died, the corporation realized $150,000 from an insurance policy. The
cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the
amount of $46,000 (the gain is nontaxable).
5.
The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $115,000 before taxes.
Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.
6. The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to
the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2018 income by
$60,000 and decrease 2019 income by $20,000 before taxes. The FIFO method has been
used for 2020. The tax rate on these items is 30%.
