For internal decision-making purposes, goodwill is not assigned to the segments and the assets assigned to the corporate headquarters are allocated equally to the operating segments.Required:1. What is the proper threshold value to use in determining which of the operating segments shown above are reporting segments?2. Which of the operating segments are considered reporting segments?Answer: Requirement 1GAAP allows the assets of the corporate headquarters to be included in the segments if the assets are included in the measure of the segments assets that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. This interpretation would justify the exclusion of goodwill and inclusion of the corporate headquarters assets. The threshold value would be 10% times the sum of ($5,670,000 + $270,000) or $594,000.Requirement 2Using the criterion established in Requirement 1, Electronics and Hardware would both be considered reporting segments. Plumbing would not be a reporting segment because it falls below the $594,000 threshold value. ($490,000 + $270,000/3 = $580,000).Objective: LO2Difficulty: Moderate2) For internal decision-making purposes, Dashwood Corporations operating segments have been identified as follows:RevenuesOperating(includesProfitIdentifiableOperating Segmentintersegmentor LossAssetsrevenues)Appliances$1,100,000$(150,000)$1,200,000Clothing1,300,000(750,000)400,000Lawn and Garden850,000150,000150,000Auto Accessories1,000,000100,000200,000Service Contracts650,000(50,000)100,000Catalog Sales2,300,00050,000500,000Home Furnishings2,800,000250,0001,000,000Tools2,400,000300,000250,000$12,400,000$(100,000)$3,800,000Revenues of the segments are external, with the exception of tools, which sold $400,000 to other segments, and Appliances, which sold $200,000 to other segments.Required:1. In applying the revenue test to identify reporting segments, what is the test value for Dashwood Corporation?2. Using the revenue test, which of Dashwoods operating segments will also be reportable segments?Answer: Requirement 1In the revenue test, there is no separation of revenue earned from sales to other segments, thus the test value to be used is 10% of the total revenues listed, or $12,400,000 10% = $1,240,000.Requirement 2Reportable segments are Clothing, Catalog Sales, Home Furnishings and Tools. The revenue from these four segments does not exceed 75% of consolidated revenue of $11,800,000, which equals $8,850,000. As a result, another operating segment, Appliances, must be reportable.Objective: LO2Difficulty: Moderate3) For internal decision-making purposes, Calam Corporations operating segments have been identified as follows:OperatingProfitIdentifiableOperating SegmentRevenuesor LossAssetsAppliances$110,000$(15,000)$120,000Clothing130,000(75,000)40,000Lawn and Garden85,00015,00015,000Auto Accessories100,00010,00020,000Service Contracts65,000(5,000)10,000Catalog Sales230,0005,00050,000Home Furnishings280,00025,000100,000Tools240,00030,00025,000$1,240,000(10,000)$380,000Required:1.In applying the operating profit or loss test to identify reporting segments, what is the test value for Calam Corporation?2.Using the reported profit or loss test, which of Calams operating segments will also be reporting segments?Answer: Requirement 1If the absolute value of the total segments showing operating losses, $95,000, is more than the absolute value of the profitable segments, $85,000, then the absolute value of the loss segments, when multiplied by 10%, would become the test value for each segment. The $95,000 is multiplied by 10% to get $9,500, which is the test value for both the profitable and loss segments.Requirement 2Using the test value of $9,500 for profit and loss of the segments, only the Service Contracts and Catalog Sales segments would not be considered reportable segments.Objective: LO2Difficulty: Moderate4) For internal decision-making purposes, Elom Corporations operating segments have been identified as follows:OperatingProfitIdentifiableOperating SegmentRevenuesor LossAssetsAppliances$110,000$(15,000)$120,000Lawn and Garden85,00015,00015,000Auto Accessories100,00010,00020,000Service Contracts65,000(5,000)10,000Catalog Sales230,0005,00050,000Corporate_25,000$590,000$10,000$240,000Corporate assets are typically allocated back evenly to the segments for internal analysis purposes.Required:1.

Using the asset test, which of Eloms operating segments will also be reporting segments?Answer: Requirement 1Total identifiable assets of $240,000 is multiplied by 10% to determine the test value of $24,000.Requirement 2Based on the answer to Requirement 1, Appliances, Auto Accessories and Catalog Sales would be reporting segments because their identifiable segment assets (which would include an additional $5,000, or 1/5 of $25,000 corporate assets), meets or exceeds the test value of $24,000. Note that Corporate is not a reportable segment, but that the assets are allocated to the other divisions.Objective: LO2Difficulty: Moderate5) The following data relate to Falcon Corporations industry segments:Sales toExternalIntersegmentIndustry SegmentCustomers Sales AssetsOil Exploration$80,000$310,000Refinery240,000720,000Plastics20,000$20,000120,000Chemicals220,000160,000980,000Solar Power20,00075,000270,000Totals$580,000$255,000$2,400,000Required:1.
