(DHI), a calendar-year company, operates three separate businesses. InSeptember 2014, DHI decided to make a strategic shift in its business and sell its candy segment becauseits revenues and earnings were declining due to health-conscious consumers. The Chocolate House (TCH)subsidiary represents the entire candy segment. You have been asked to help determine the appropriateaccounting treatment related to this decision. In your analysis, you should consider the following additionalinformation:► DHI engaged a broker to help determine the value of the candy segment and to help locate a buyer.The broker indicated that given the age of the property, plant and equipment, the candy segment likelycould be sold in less than a year if the offering price was $200 million.► This offering price would also allow DHI to fully recover the cost of TCH’s inventory. DHI considered thisa reasonable value for these operations. DHI obtained Board approval to sell TCH for $200 million inNovember 2014.► The Board was informed that the estimated cost of selling TCH was $10 million.► On December 1, 2014, DHI publicly announced its intention to dispose of its candy segment. At thistime, DHI informed the broker that TCH was available for immediate sale. Prior to year-end, the brokerwas actively seeking buyers.► Management has concluded that TCH should be accounted for as a discontinued operation.► Relevant financial information as of December 31 is provided on the following page for DHI and TCH.► All intercompany eliminations are already reflected in DHI’s consolidated financial information. Theeffective income tax rate in both 2013 and 2014 is 50%.
