Answers
   1. Sales = $2,000,000
   2. Cost of sales = $1,200,000
   3. Gross profit = $2,000,000 - $1,200,000 = $800,000
   
   4. Selling, general and administrative expenses = $300,000
   5. Operating income = $800,000 - $300,000 = $500,000
  
   6. Nonoperating revenue = $50,000
   7. Nonoperating expenses = $30,000
   8. Income from continuing operations
        = $500,000 + $50,000 - $30,000 = $520,000
  
   9. Loss from discontinued operations = $40,000
   10. Income before extraordinary items = $520,000 - $40,000 = $480,000
  
   11. Extraordinary gain = $30,000
   12. Income before income taxes = $480,000 + $30,000 = $510,000
  
   13. Income taxes = $170,000
   14. Net income = $510,000 - $170,000 = $340,000
