$$
\textbf{LARKSPUR CORPORATION}
$$

$$
\textbf{Partial Income Statement}
$$

$$
\textbf{For the Year Ended December 31, 2020}
$$

1. Begin with the income from continuing operations. Let this amount be denoted by $$ C $$.  
2. Under discontinued operations, list the loss on the discontinued division. Let the loss amount be denoted by $$ D $$ (a negative number).  
3. Net income (or loss) is computed by summing the income from continuing operations and the loss from discontinued operations, that is:  
   $$
   \text{Net income / (loss)} = C + D
   $$

The formatted partial income statement would therefore appear as:

$$
\begin{array}{rl}
\textbf{Income from continuing operations} & \$ \, C \
\
\textbf{Discontinued operations:} &  \
\quad \text{Loss on discontinued division} & \$ \, D \
\
\textbf{Net income / (loss)} & \$ \, (C + D) \
\end{array}
$$

You can now substitute the actual amounts for $$ C $$ and $$ D $$ to complete the statement.
$$ \textbf{LARKSPUR CORPORATION} $$ $$ \textbf{Partial Income Statement} $$ $$ \textbf{For the Year Ended December 31, 2020} $$ - **Income from continuing operations:** \$ [Amount] - **Discontinued operations:** - **Loss on discontinued division:** \$ [Amount] - **Net income / (loss):** \$ [Total Amount] \end{array} \]
