Selected information about income statement accounts for the Reed Company is presented below (the company's fiscal year ends on December 31):
 

    2021   2020
Sales revenue $ 4,400,000 $ 3,500,000
Cost of goods sold   2,860,000   2,000,000

On July 1, 2021, the company adopted a plan to discontinue a division that qualifies as a component of an entity as defined by GAAP. The assets of the component were sold on September 30, 2021, for $48,000 less than their book value. Results of operations for the component (included in the above account balances) were as follows:

 

  1/1/2021–9/30/2021   2020  
Sales revenue   $ 400,000       $ 500,000  
Cost of goods sold     (290,000 )       (320,000 )
Administrative expense     (50,000 )       (40,000 )
Selling expense     (20,000 )       (20,000 )
Operating income before taxes   $ 40,000       $ 120,000  
 

 
In addition to the account balances above, several events occurred during 2021 that have not yet been reflected in the above accounts:

  1. A fire caused $50,000 in uninsured damages to the main office building. The fire was considered to be an unusual event.
  2. Inventory that had cost $40,000 had become obsolete because a competitor introduced a better product. The inventory was written down to its scrap value of $5,000.
  3. Income taxes have not yet been recorded.
