a. 20x1: $350,000; 20x0: $(300,000)
b. 20x1: $(150,000); 20x0: $200,000
c. 20x1: $50,000; 20x0: $(300,000)
d. 20x1: $0; 20x0: $50,000

a. 20X1: $350,000; 20X0: $(300,000)

Explanation:

Provided there was operating losses in the year 20X0 and 20X1 each of $300,000

Thus this is the amount of loss.

Further provided that sale of Hart's segment assets happen in the end of year 20X1

Actual profit on sale such assets = $650,000

Net profit / (loss) for the year 20X1 = $650,000 profit from sale of segment assets - $300,000 Operating loss for the year = $350,000 profit

Thus for year 20X1 = $350,000 profit that is positive value

for the year 20X0 =($300,000) operating losses.

Final answer

a. 20X1: $350,000; 20X0: $(300,000)
