Sunland Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2017 of $803,200. Additional transactions occurring in 2017 but not considered in the $803,200 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $97,400 during the year.

2. At the beginning of 2015, the corporation purchased a machine for $54,000 (salvage value of $9,000) 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 $60,600 (pretax).

5. The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $118,190 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 $64,260 and decrease 2016 income by $20,950 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2017. The tax rate on these items is 40%.
