The division qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. How should Claxton report the sale in its 2018 income statement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) Report it as a discontinued operation.

Explanation:

The Claxton Company should report the sale of its automobile parts division as a discontinued operation and the revenue generated by the sale must be reported separately from the income generated by continuing operations.

A discontinued operation is any part (division or subsidiary) of the organization that is put on sale or has already been sold.
