Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


Misty's income before extraordinary item = 600 - 250 (Operating Expenses) - 50 (Restructuring Charges) = 300*(1-.40) = 180


Answer is 180.


Notes:


a) Restructuring Charges would be deducted while calculating Misty's income before extraordinary item.

b) Extraordinary Loss will not be deducted.


Thanks.
