    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)
