(a) $0

Explanation:

Since the book value is less than the generated future cash flows so there would not be any loss on impairment of the asset

The book value is computed below

= Owns value - accumulated depreciation

= $290,000 - $150,000

= $140,000

The book value is $140,000 and the generated cash flows are $165,000. So, no value would be recognized
