Hmm, I'm leaning towards C. Additional pension costs seem like they should be part of the loss, doesn't it? Unless we're trying to downplay the whole thing.

I'm going with D. Gotta include those operating losses up to the date of the decision, right? Otherwise, it's like sweeping the past under the rug.

Yeah, D is the way to go. It's important to include those operating losses in the calculation.

I agree, D seems like the most logical choice. We need to consider all the losses up to the disposal decision.

I think you're right, D makes sense. We shouldn't ignore those operating losses.

Wait, are we supposed to include employee relocation costs or not? This question is giving me a headache.

I think the answer is B. The operating losses from the date the decision to dispose of the segment was made until the end of 1992 should be excluded, not included.
