The following information is also available but is not reflected in the preceding accounts:
1. The company sold Division E (a component of the company) on August 1, 2007. During 2007, Division E had incurred a pretax loss from operations of $16,000. However, because the acquiring company could vertically integrate Division E into its facilities, the Houston Manufacturing Company was able to recognize a $42,000 pretax gain on the sale.
2. On January 2, 2007, without warning, a foreign country expropriated a factory of Houston Manufacturing Company, which had been operating in that country. As a result of that expropriation, the company has incurred a pretax loss of $30,000.
3. In preparing its 2007 adjusting entries at year-end, the company discovered that it had not recorded $10,100 of depreciation on its office building during 2006. This error did not affect the 2007 depreciation expense.
4. The common stock was outstanding for the entire year. A cash dividend of $1.20 per share was declared and paid in 2007.
