Answer: The answer is Discontinued Operation.
Explanation: Discontinued Operation in financial accounting is a term that is used to refer to part(s) of a company’s line of businesses or products that have been sold or shut down.
Discontinued operations are reported on the income statement, but separately from continuing operations.
The decision to list discontinued operations separately on the income statement is useful because it shows investors where the profits are coming from and which operations have ceased to function, especially useful when companies are about to merge.

Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.
They sold 500,000 boxes
= 500,000 * 60%
= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.
So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;
= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000
