    Discontinued operations = $374,000 loss

    Explanation:

    Discontinued operations is defined as the part of a companie's operations that has been shut down or divested from normal or continued operations.

    Discontinued operations are reported seperately from the companie's normal operations.

    To calculate discontinued operation we find difference between the sale price of the division and the fair value, and minus transaction cost too.

    In this scenario

    Discontinued operations = Sale price - Book value

    Discontinued operations = 898,000 - 1,272,000

    Discontinued operations = $374,000 loss
