I have looked all over but I can not find what the discontinued operations impact on earnings per share is???HELP!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?:confused:

When you discontinue a business, it is either at a loss or a gain. That will either decrease or increase the EPS. Most likely when you discontinue a business, it is at a loss.

EXAMPLE:

Income Statement Presentation of EPS Components Earnings per share:

Income from continuing operations....................$4.00
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.......(.60)
Extraordinary gain, net of tax.............................1.00
Net Income..................................................$4.40
