    A) If Ray elects to treat both departments as a single activity, he can offset the $60,000 loss against the $100,000 income.

    Explanation:

    Ray probably decided to separate both departments in order to have a more precise record of each department's performance, but he can decide to treat them as a single unit and combine both departments' revenues and costs. By doing that, the income generated by department A would offset the losses from department B.
