Maher Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2014 of $817,000. Additional transactions occurring in 2014 but not considered in the $817,000 are as follows.

1.		The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss (extraordinary) in the amount of $92,400 during the year. The tax rate on this item is 46%.
2.		At the beginning of 2012, 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 2012, 2013, and 2014 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 $61,700 (pretax).
4.		When its president died, the corporation realized $152,100 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of $49,600 (the gain is nontaxable).
5.		The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $116,800 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 2012 income by $62,760 and decrease 2013 income by $20,300 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2014. The tax rate on these items is 40%.
