Explanation / Answer
a. Gain on sale of Brand Name = Sales Price - Book Value (Cost of Acquisition) =278-0= $ 278 millions
b. Company's Income (Loss) from Operations for this year had it not sold its Mary Jones brand =
Gian (Loss) from operations +Gain on sale of Brand= Total Gain
Gian (Loss) from operations +$ 278 million= $165 million
Therefore gain (loss) from operations = $165 - $ 278 = Loss 113 millions
