    A. $125,000

    Explanation:

    before tax loss on discontinued operations

    = Operating loss Feb. 1, 2016 - Jan. 31, 2017 + Operating loss Feb. 1, 2016 - Jan. 31, 2017

    = $115,000 + $10,000

    = $125,000

    Therefore, Rocket would report a before-tax loss on discontinued operations of $125,000.
