Exam 15: Segment and Interim Financial Reporting
For internal decision-making purposes,Falcon Corporation identifies its industry segments by geographical area.For 2011,the total revenues of each segment are provided below.There are no intersegment revenues.
Required:
1.Which operating segments will be considered reporting segments based on the revenue test?
2.What is the test value for determining whether a sufficient number of segments are reported?
3.What will be the minimum number of segments that must be reported?

Requirement 1
The reporting segments will be those segments whose segment revenue is 10% or more of the combined revenues of all operating segments.The total combined revenue of the operating segments is $149,500,000 and 10% of that number is $14,950,000.Only Canada and the United States will satisfy the 10% revenue test.
Requirement 2
The appropriate test value is the "75% of consolidated revenues" test which is $112,125,000 ($149,500,000 × 75%).
Requirement 3
Canada and the United States have combined revenues that total $98,000,000.The next largest segment in revenues is Other European at $14,000,000 which would get the total revenues to $112,000,000.Falcon would have to report one additional segment,European Union,to meet the 75% test for revenue.
Tillman Fabrications has five operating segments,as summarized below:
Required:
Determine which of the operating segments of Tillman Fabrications are reportable segments for the period shown.

Revenue test: Total revenues (external and internal)= $27,940,000 × 10% = $2,794,000 = test value limit;therefore Wood,Plastic,Metal,and Fabric are reportable segments.
Operating Profit test: Total Operating Profit of segments with operating profits (Metal and Paper)= $1,890,000,and Total Operating Loss of segments with operating losses (Wood,Plastic,Fabric)= $(2,070,000).Since the absolute value of the total operating losses is greater than the absolute value of the total operating profits,we will use 10% of the total operating losses as our test value limit = $207,000;therefore Wood,Plastic,Metal and Fabric are reportable segments.
Asset test: Total assets of all operating segments = $3,060,000 × 10% = $306,000 = test value limit;therefore Wood,Plastic,Metal and Fabric are reportable segments.
Based on the three tests above,four operating segments meet at least one criteria to be a reportable segment (Wood,Plastic,Metal and Fabric).Total Revenue to external customers = $22,100,000,multiplied by 75% = $16,575,000.Since the sales revenue to external customers of the four reportable segments amounts to $20,500,000,the 75% test has been met by those four segments and no further segments must be included in separate reporting.
Osprin Corporation has three operating segments,as summarized below:
Required:
1.Using the revenue test,what is the minimum amount of revenue of a reportable segment?
2.Using the operating profit or loss test,what is the minimum amount of operating profit or loss of a reportable segment?
3.Using the asset test,what is the minimum amount of assets of a reportable segment?
4.Based on the three tests,which segments will be separately reported?

1.Total revenue including intersegment sales = $65,000 + $16,000 = $81,000.The test value limit is $8,100 ($81,000 × 10%).
2.The operating profit or loss test includes the operating profit or loss for each segment,which excludes Interest Expense and Income Tax Expense.
Total operating profit (all segments had profit;no segments had a loss)= $48,000.The test value limit is $4,800 ($48,000 × 10%).
3.The assets of all segments combined is $31,000.The test value limit is $3,100 ($31,000 × 10%).
4.Under the revenue test,the Capsule and Pill segments are reportable.The Liquid segment's total sales ($5,000 + $2,000)is $7,000 and does not exceed the limit.Under the operating profit or loss test,the Capsule and Pill segments are reportable.Under the asset test,the Capsule and Liquid segments are reportable.Because each segment meets at least one of the three tests,they will all be considered reportable segments.
