Answer: The income tax expense $100,800, net income $252,000

Explanation:

To calculate net income

Income from continuing operation before income tax - income before tax-loss on discontinued operation

= 315,000 - 63,000

= 252,000

To calculate line item amount for income tax expense, we use the formula

Income tax expense = Taxable income * tax rate

Taxable income = $252,000, Tax rate = 40% (40 : 100) = 0.4

= 252,000 * 0.4

= $100,800
