Placed as part of income from continuing operations after normal
Recurring revenues and expenses
Discontinued operations, definition
Results from disposal of business component

Placed in separate category after discontinued operations
Items that are never extraordinary 3
1 foreign currency devaluation
2 labor strike effects
3 write downs of assets (inventory, PPE, Intangibles, receivables)
An extraordinary gain can result from…
Really good insurance
Infrequent and unusual items: Restructuring
Program that is planned and controlled by management and
Materially changes scope of business undertaken by company
Or manner which the business is conducted
5 common examples of restructuring
1 sale or termination of line of business
2 closure of business activities in particular location
3 relocation of business activities from one location to another
4 changes in management structure
5 fundamental reorganizations that affect nature and focus of
Operations
Another unusual or infrequent item is accounting for the costs of…
Exit and disposal activities (includes restructuring)
A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be recognized and measured…
Initially at fair value in period where liability is incurred
How is fair value usually determined for a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity?
Determined as present value of estimated future payments
Discounted at credit adjusted, risk free rate of interest
In the unusual circumstance when fair value can’t be reasonably estimated, the liability shall be initially recognized in period where fair value can be reasonably estimated. 3 examples of these liabilities include…
1 onetime termination benefits provided to current employees
That are involuntarily terminated
2 costs to terminate contract that is not a capital lease
3 costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees
Recognition of the liability and expense for onetime termination benefits depends on whether…
The employees are required to provide services beyond minimum
Retention period
If The employees are required to provide services beyond minimum
Retention period, the expense is recognized…
Over the period the services are provided
Costs associated with an exit or disposal activity that does not involve discontinued operations shall be included in…
2) the footnotes to the financial statements should provided…
Income from continuing operations before income taxes
2) extensive disclosure of the activities
Discontinued operations: to qualify for treatment as discontinued operations, assets must comprise a component of the entity with…
Operations and cashflows that are clearly distinguished,
operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the
Rest of the entity
4 things a component may be?
1 reportable or operating segment
2 reporting unit
3 subsidiary
4 asset group
To be reported as discontinued operations 2 requirements must be met
1 the operations and cash flows of the component have been
(Or will be) eliminated from ongoing operations due to disposal
2 entity won’t have significant involvement in operations of
Component after disposal
Many assets disposed of as discontinued operations are…
Long lived assets
The component is classified as discontinued operations in the first period it meets the criteria as…
Being held for sale
6 requirements to classify disposed assets in discontinued operations
1 management commits to a plan of disposal
2 assets are available for sale
3 active program to locate buyer has been initiated
4 sale is probable
5 asset is being actively marketed for sale at fair price
6 it is unlikely that disposal plan will significantly change
Long lived assets classified as held for sale are reported at the…
Lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less costs to sell
The gain or loss on disposal of discontinued operations is the actual gain or loss if the disposal occurs in…
The same period that the component meets the criteria being
Classified as held for sale

Adjusted retroactively to enhance comparability with current
Year’s income statement
Accordingly the revenues, cost of goods sold and operating expenses (including income taxes) for the discontinued component are removed from the revenues, costs of goods sold and operating expenses of continuing operations and are meted into one figure that is…

Current cost, increases in price due to demand/market appreciation, what do you do with nonmonetary items?
Restate current costs and calculate a holding gain/loss
Nonmonetary items:
Holding gains/losses for PPE and inventory
Use current cost
Or use recoverable amount if lower than current cost
Nonmonetary items:
Holding gains/losses for depreciation exp. And COGS
