I have found this question on Chegg from a previous post with different numbers. Three different people responded with different answers!

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

2013 2012
Sales $ 5,400,000 $ 4,500,000
Cost of goods sold 3,060,000 2,200,000
Administrative expenses 1,000,000 875,000
Selling expenses 560,000 512,000
Interest revenue 170,000 160,000
Interest expense 240,000 240,000
Loss on sale of assets of discontinued component 130,000

On July 1, 2013, 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, 2013, for $130,000 less than their book value. Results of operations for the component (included in the above account balances) were as follows:

1/1/13-9/30/13 2012
Sales $ 600,000 $ 700,000
Cost of goods sold (390,000 ) (440,000 )
Administrative expenses (70,000 ) (60,000 )
Selling expenses (40,000 ) (50,000 )
Operating income before taxes $ 100,000 $ 150,000

In addition to the account balances above, several events occurred during 2013 that have not yet been reflected in the above accounts:

1. A fire caused $70,000 in uninsured damages to the main office building. The fire was considered to be an infrequent but not unusual event.
2. An earthquake caused $120,000 in property damage to one of Reeds factories. The amount of the loss is material and the event is considered unusual and infrequent.
3. Inventory that had cost $60,000 had become obsolete because a competitor introduced a better product. The inventory was sold as scrap for $7,000.
4. Income taxes have not yet been accrued.

Required:

Prepare a multiple-step income statement for the Reed Company for 2013, showing 2012 information in comparative format, including income taxes computed at 20% and EPS disclosures assuming 800,000 shares of common stock. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.Round EPS answers to 2 decimal places.)
