Problem

Sheridan Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2017 of $805,200. Additional transactions occurring in 2017 but not considered in the $805,200 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $90,700 during the year.

2. At the beginning of 2015, the corporation purchased a machine for $63,000 (salvage value of $10,500) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2015, 2016, and 2017, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.

3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $59,300 (pretax).

4. When its president died, the corporation realized $135,700 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of $50,460 (the gain is nontaxable).

5. The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $112,010 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.

6. The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2015 income by $55,790 and decrease 2016 income by $20,180 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2017. The tax rate on these items is 40%.

Prepare an income statement for the year 2017 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. Common shares outstanding for the year are 110,250 shares.
