    loss from discontinued operation 450,000

    Explanation:

    when selling assets above the book value we have a gain:

    1,200,000 - 1,000,000 = 200,000

    For the gain on assets above book value we must pay taxes.

    200,000 x (1-0.25) = 150,000

    the income from discontinued operation plus this gain generated a component of 300,000 loss

    150,000 gain on sale + income from discontinued = - 300,000

    discontinued result: - 300,000 + - 150,000 = - 450,000
