Final Answer : C, Explanation :  To calculate pretax income from continuing operations, we need to add net sales, gain on sale of component, and other income and then subtract cost of goods sold, operating expenses, interest expense, and other expenses.Pretax income from continuing operations = ($600,000 + $12,000 + $0) - ($430,000 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $12,000 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0)= $612,000 - $442,000= $170,000Therefore, the correct answer is C) $158,000.
