A. Three
B. Four
C. Five
D. Six
Solution:
Under PFRS 8, an entity shall disclose information about an operating segment that meets any of the
quantitative thresholds:
1. The segment revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or
transfers, is 10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.
2. The segment profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater of the following:
3. The asset of the segment are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating
segments.
Accordingly, A, B, C, D and E are reportable segments because their revenue or profit if asset is at least
10% of the combined amount.

A. X, W, X and Z
B. V, W and X
C. V and W
D. V, W, X, Y and Z
Solution:
X 2,000,000
Y 400,000
Z 200,000
4,800,000 2,200,900
The total profit figure is the basis for identifying the reportabke segments because it is higher than the
total loss figure
Accordingly, those segments with a profit or loss od atleast 10% of 4,800,000 or 480,000 are
reportable. Thus V, W and X are reportable.

Revlon Company has expanded rapidly and segment reporting is now required. The entity has no
tersegment sales. The following data are for the year ended December 11, 2011:
* The “others” category includes five operating segments, non of which has revenue or assets greater
than P80,000 and non with an operating profit.
* Operating Segmetns 1 and 2 produce very similar products and use very similar production processes,
but serve different customer types and use quite different product distribution system. These
differences are due in part to the fact that Segment 2 operates in a regulated environment while
Segment 1 does not.
* Operating Segments 6 and 7 have very similar products, production processes, product distribution
systems, but are organized as separate divisions since they serve substantially different types of
customers. Neither Segments 6 and 7 operate in a regulated environment.
14. What are the reportable segments for the year ended Decembr 31, 2011?
Solution:
1. The information above shows that any operating segment with revenue equal or greater than
200,000 is a reportable segment (segments 1 and 3). Any segment with identifiable asset
greater than 150,000 is a reportable segment (segment 1,3 and 5). The total operating profit
for all segments with operating profit totals 300,000. As a result, any segment with an
operating profit of loss equal to a greater than an absolute amount of 30,000 is a reportable
segment(segment 1,3 and 4). Thus Segment 1, 3, 4, and 5 are reportable segments.
Segment 1 620,000
Segment 3 340,000
Segment 4 190,000
Segment 5 180,000
TOTAL REVENUE 1,330,000
If the total external revenue attributable to reportable segments constitutes less than 75% of the
entity external revenue, additional segments shall be identified even if they do not meet the 10%
quantitative thresholds until at least 75% of the entity external revenue is included in reportable
segments.
Moreover, reportable segments that are below the 10% threshold can be aggregated as one segment
if they have similar economic character and share a majority of the five aggregation criteria as follows.
a. Nature of product
c. Class of customers
e. Regulated Environment
Since segment 6 and 7 are similar in four or five criteria, they can be aggregated as one reportable
segment.
With segment 6 and 7 considered as one reportable segment, the total segment revenue increases to
1,520,000 or 76% of the total. The 75% requirement has been met.
