N 2,500,000
O 800,000
P 900,000
Q _________ 2,000,000
Total 24,900,000 5,300,000
Using the quantitative threshold, which of the above operating segments are reportable based on the operating
profit or loss criterion?
A. segments K, L, M and P C. segments K, M, and N
B. segments N, O and Q D. none is reportable
SOLUTION:
The reportable segments are K, M and N since they are the ones who passed the profit or loss test. Under the
profit or loss test, the absolute amount of profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount of:
a. Combined profit of all operating segments that reported a profit.
