Swift Co. has identified three operating segments that may require separate disclosure in Swift's general purpose financial statements for the year ended December 31, Year 2. Information for Year 2 follows: Which of Swift's segments are required to be separately disclosed in its December 31, Year 2, financial statements?

A and B only. In order to be a reportable segment, an individual segment must meet the 10 percent size test. The test is applied to revenues, reported profit (loss), and assets, and any segment that meets the 10 percent threshold in any of these categories will be reported separately. The thresholds are $17.7 for revenues (10 percent of $177); $7.7 for the greater of combined profits or combined losses (10 percent of $77 in combined profits); and $135 for assets (10 percent of $1,350). A and B both have revenues that exceed $17.7, profits that exceed $7.7, and assets that exceed $135. C does not meet any of the criteria, and so only A and B will be separately disclosed.

The Ajax Corporation reported the following operating results and net income (net loss) from its components for the year ended December 31: Based purely on operating results, which of the components would be deemed reportable segments?

Astor, Carter, and Davis. RULE: A segment meets the size test if the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of: 1. The combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss, or 2. The combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss. Astor, Carter, and Davis exceed the 10% threshold test for segment reporting. Application of the rule is computed as follows: Ajax determines its segments based on unconsolidated financial results by segment. The absolute amount of income ($325,000) is greater than the absolute amount of loss ($200,000). Ajax uses 10% of total income from segments earning income, or $32,500, as the basis for determining reportable segments.

Alpha Co. has $100 billion in assets, $100 billion in revenues, and $10 billion in profits for the current year. There are four operating segments that report directly to the chief operating officer. Which of the following segments is required to present key disclosures?

Segments 1, 2, and 3 A segment is deemed significant and requires disclosure as long as it meets the 10 percent "size" test. This test is met using any of the three criteria shown below: Assets: The segment's identifiable assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments. Revenue: The segment's revenue (external and internal) is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue of all operating segments.Reported profit or loss: The absolute value of the segment's reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater (absolute amount) of the combined profit of all segments that did not report a loss and the combined reported loss of all segments that did report a loss. With $100 billion in assets, the 10 percent threshold is $10 billion. Segments 1, 2, and 3 all have assets over $10 billion. With $100 billion in revenues, the 10 percent threshold is $10 billion. Segments 1 and 2 each have revenues over $10 billion. With $10 billion in profits, the 10 percent threshold is $1 billion. Segment 1 meets this threshold. Because only one of the three criteria need to be met for a segment to have required disclosure, Segments 1, 2, and 3 will all qualify.
