Chapter 13 - Segment and Interim Reporting

CHAPTER 13
SEGMENT AND INTERIM REPORTING
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q13-1 Information on a company's operations in different industries would be helpful
to investors in their assessments concerning the different profit rates, different
degrees and types of risk, and different opportunities for growth of each of the
different industries. In general, this breakdown helps the investors look behind the
consolidated totals to the individual components that comprise the company.
Q13-2 The relationship between the FASB's segment disclosure requirements and a
company's profit centers focuses on the management viewpoint in FASB 131. The
FASB requires that the definitions of operating segments used for internal decisionmaking purposes be used for presenting segment information for financial statement
purposes.
Q13-3 The three ten percent significance tests used to determine reportable
segments under FASB 131 are the 10 percent revenue test, the 10 percent operating
profit (loss) test, and the 10 percent assets test.
For the 10 percent revenue test, the numerator and denominator are as follows:
Each operating segment's total revenue
(including intersegment transfers and sales)
Combined revenue of all operating segments
(including intersegment transfers and sales)

For the 10 percent profit (loss) test, the numerator and denominator are as follows:
Each operating segment's profit (loss)
Absolute value of the combined profit or
combined losses of the operating segments
(whichever is greater)

For the assets test, the numerator and denominator are as follows:
Each operating segment’s assets
Combined assets of all industry segments

Q13-4 Whatever items are used for internal decision-making purposes to measure
the operating segment’s profit or loss shall be reported in the external disclosure.

13-1


Q13-5 Any segments passing one of the 10 percent tests would also be disclosed.
The lower limit for the number of segments to be disclosed is set by the 75 percent
revenue test. If the assumption is made that the largest four segments fail the 75
percent test and the largest five segments pass the 75 percent test, then the five
segments should be separately reported. The remaining segments, if they fail the 10
percent tests, are combined under the heading of "Other Segments" and not defined
further.
Q13-6 First, FASB 131 specifies that all companies should disclose revenues and
long-lived, productive assets domestically and, in total, for all foreign activities. The
two materiality tests applied to country-based foreign operations are the 10 percent
revenue test and the 10 percent long-lived asset test. The profit or loss test is not
used for foreign operations because of the many differences in tax structures and
accounting practices in different geographic areas.
Q13-7 A company must disclose for each of its significant customers the amount of
sales to these customers and the associated industry segment. The names of the
individual customers need not be disclosed, although some companies do disclose
the names of the customers.
Q13-8 Interim reports can be used by investors to identify a company's seasonal
trends by identifying the pattern of revenue and expenses as they occur each interim
period.
Q13-9 The discrete view of interim reporting holds each interim period as a basic
accounting period to be evaluated as if it were an annual accounting period. Any endof-period adjustments and deferrals would be determined using the same accounting
principles used for the annual report. The integral view of interim reporting holds each
interim period as an installment of an annual period. Recognition and adjustment of
certain income or expense items may be affected by judgments about the expected
results of the entire year's operations. APB Opinion 28 uses the integral view of
interim reporting.
Q13-10 Revenue from products sold or services rendered should be recognized as
earned during an interim period on the same basis as followed for the full year.
Revenue from seasonal businesses cannot be manipulated to eliminate seasonal
trends.
Q13-11 Those costs and expenses that are associated directly with or allocated to
the products sold or to the services rendered for annual reporting purposes should be
treated similarly for interim reporting purposes. The following practical modifications
are allowed to the general rule:
a. Estimated gross profit rates may be used to determine an interim period's cost of
goods sold.
b. Temporary reductions of inventories expected to be replaced by the end of the
fiscal year should not be expensed through cost of goods sold at historical cost if
the company uses the LIFO inventory valuation method. The expected
replacement cost of the liquidated portion of the LIFO base should be used for
the interim period's cost of goods sold.
c. Inventory losses due to a decline in market prices are recognized in the period of
decline using the lower-of-cost-or-market valuation method. Recoveries of
market prices in later interim periods of the same fiscal year should be
recognized as gains (recoveries of prior losses) in the later interim period.

13-2


d.

Companies using a standard cost system for inventories should use the same
procedures for computing and reporting variances in an interim period as used for
the fiscal year. Purchase price variances or volume or capacity variances that are
expected to be absorbed by the end of the fiscal year should be deferred at the
interim period and should not be included in the interim income.

Costs and expenses other than product costs should be charged to income in interim
periods as incurred or be allocated among interim periods based on an estimate of
the time expired, benefit received, or activity associated with the periods.
Q13-12 The application of the lower-of-cost-or-market valuation method differs
between interim statements and annual statements when temporary market declines
are expected to reverse by the end of the fiscal year. When a temporary market
decline is experienced, the decline need not be recognized at the interim date
because no loss is expected for the fiscal year.
Q13-13 The integral theory of interim reporting would allocate the expenditure over
the interim periods benefited. Thus, a portion of the $200,000 might be recognized
over one or more interim periods. The discrete theory of interim reporting would
recognize the entire $200,000 in the interim period when the expenditure was made.
Q13-14 At the end of the second interim period, the company should make its best
estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The
rate so determined should be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-todate basis. The effective annual tax rate should reflect anticipated investment tax
credits, foreign tax rates, percentage depletion, capital gains rates, and other
available tax planning alternatives. In arriving at this effective annual tax rate, no
effect should be included for the tax related to significant unusual or extraordinary
items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect in
reports for the interim period or for the fiscal year.
Q13-15 If the future realizability of the tax benefit is not assured beyond a reasonable
doubt, the tax benefit is not shown in the interim statements.
Q13-16 Extraordinary items should be disclosed separately, included in the
determination of net income for the interim period in which they occur, and shown net
of applicable taxes. In determining materiality, extraordinary items should be related
to the estimated income for the full fiscal year.
Q13-17 A change in accounting principle made in an interim period is reported using
the retrospective application process. The balance sheet for the earliest period
presented (usually an annual period) is adjusted for the cumulative amount of the
change as of the beginning of that year. Then, all subsequent annual and interim
financial statements shall be adjusted to the newly adopted accounting principle. In
the example of an inventory change, all the financial statements presented must be
adjusted to the new method, the average cost method. The balance sheet for the
earliest period presented must include the cumulative effect as of the change
computed as of the beginning of that first period presented.

13-3


SOLUTIONS TO CASES
C13-1 Segment Disclosures [CMA Adapted]
a. The purpose for requiring segment information to be disclosed in financial
statements is to assist financial statement users in analyzing and understanding the
enterprise's financial statements by permitting better assessment of the enterprise's
past performances and future prospects.
b. The determination of the segments appropriate for an enterprise is the
responsibility of management; that is, management should use its judgment in
deciding how to report its segment information. Specific characteristics or sets of
characteristics management can use in determining how to group its products into
segments include the following:
1. Use of existing profit centers.
2. A segment shall be regarded as significant and identified as a reportable
segment if one or more of the following are satisfied:
i. 10% or more of the total revenue is derived from one segment.
ii. 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount of the aggregate profits or
aggregate losses is contributed by the segment.
iii. 10% of the combined assets can be associated with the segment.
3. Management has the ability to define the breakdown of the segments, but the
segment definitions used for external purposes must be the same as used for
internal decision making purposes.
c.

The options available to Chemax Industries are as follows:
1.

Segment by product line — antihistamines. This single product meets the
10 percent test and can be anticipated as a significant product line in the
future.

2.

Segment by product group — pharmaceutical, medical instruments, and
medical supplies. Antihistamines can be carried as a part of the
pharmaceutical group.

3.

Disaggregate pharmaceutical into ethical and proprietary drugs and carry
antihistamines under whichever industry segment is appropriate (probably
proprietary drugs, in this case).

13-4


C13-2 Matching Revenue and Expenses for Interim Periods
a. Revenue, product costs, gains, and losses should be recognized for interim
periods on the same bases as for an annual period. These items should be
recognized in the period earned or incurred and should not be deferred or allocated to
other interim periods.
b. Cost of goods sold and inventory valuation requires several estimations because
physical counts typically are not made for interim periods. Cost of goods sold may be
estimated using the gross profit method. Temporary liquidations of LIFO layers are
priced using the replacement costs of the goods, not the LIFO cost. Temporary
reductions in the market value below cost under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule do
not need to be recognized in an interim period. However, reductions in value that may
be permanent must be recognized. A loss recovery is allowed for recoveries of
market value from one interim to another.
c. Period costs are those such as depreciation or other amortizations and allocations.
These should be allocated to each interim period based on a reasonable allocation
method such as straight-line or percentage of the interim period's revenue to
expected annual revenue.
d. Accounting treatment for interim statements:
1. Long-term contracts — These contracts are accounted for on the same basis as
for the annual period. Percentage-of-completion estimates are made each
interim and gross profit is recognized. If the completed contract method is used,
then profit is recognized only for projects completed within the interim period.
2. Advertising costs — These costs may be capitalized and allocated to the interim
periods that benefit. However, no advertising costs are deferred beyond the end
of the annual fiscal period. The allocation should be on a reasonable basis such
as the percentage of interim revenue to expected annual revenue. Advertising
costs or other costs that will benefit more than one interim period may be
deferred under the integral approach used for interim reporting.
3. Seasonal revenue — Revenue must be recognized in the period earned. The
company may not defer revenue from one interim to another in an attempt to
smooth the revenue stream.
4. Flood loss — Extraordinary items must be recognized in the interim period in
which the event occurs.
5. Annual major repairs and maintenance — Unusually large and nonrecurring
costs may be capitalized to the asset and carried past the end of the fiscal
period. However, normal maintenance and repairs may not be carried beyond
the end of the fiscal year. Some accountants account for repairs on an interim
basis by charging each of the interim periods with a proportionate amount of the
annual repair cost and establishing an allowance for repairs contra account to
the plant and equipment account. The expenditure is then charged against the
allowance account. Other accountants would charge the entire cost off in the
interim period in which the expenditure is made.

13-5


C13-3 Segment Disclosures in the Financial Statements [CMA Adapted]
a. A subdivision of an entity is a reportable segment if one of the following tests is
met:
1. Revenue, both unaffiliated and intersegment revenue, is ten percent or more of
total revenue, which includes intersegment revenue. For each of Bennett's
segments, divide the sum of the unaffiliated sales and intersegment sales by
total company sales of $63,000. If the result is ten percent or more, the
revenue test is met for that specific segment.
2. The absolute value of profit or loss is ten percent or more of the greater of
either the total profit of segments that did not incur a loss or the total, in
absolute amounts, of the segments that did incur a loss. For each segment,
divide the absolute value of the profit or loss by the sum of the segment profits
of $6,200. If the result is ten percent or more, the segment profit or loss test is
met for that specific segment.
3. Assets are ten percent or more of total assets. For each segment, divide the
value of the assets by total assets of $100,000. If the result is ten percent or
more, the assets test is met for that specific segment.
The calculations for the segments of Bennett Inc. yield results that show that all
segments are reportable with the exception of Security Systems, which does not
meet any of the tests. See the results of all the tests in the table below.

b. For the reportable segments of Bennett Inc. to represent a substantial portion of
total operations, the combined revenue from sales to unaffiliated customers of all
reportable segments must be at least 75 percent of the total sales for the company as
a whole. Since the sales to unaffiliated customers of Bennett's reportable segments
are $44,300 and represent approximately 96 percent of the company's total sales
($44,300 / $46,300), this criterion would be met.

13-6


C13-4 Determining Industry and Geographic Segments
a. This is an actual case adapted from experiences with a large, publicly held U.S.
company. The U.S. company's management was reluctant to disclose information
about the Canadian operation's profitability because of the desire to maintain its
economic competitiveness, and because of fear that Canadian authorities might want
to increase regulation of non-Canadian owned companies operating in Canada.
b. Under FASB 131, the U.S. company must present its segmental disclosures
based on the definition of operating segments as used for internal decision making.
Therefore, if the management of the company felt that the two product lines were
sufficiently comparable, management could aggregate the two product lines in the
same operating segment for internal decision-making purposes. Then, because the
two product lines were in one operating segment for internal decision-making
purposes, they would be considered one operating segment for external disclosure
purposes under FASB 131. However, FASB 131 also requires separate disclosure of
revenues by product line. The company could still be required to disclose revenue
information about the pasta product line.
One interpretation the company could use to postpone separately disclosing detailed
information about its pasta business is to argue that the pasta business passed one
of the 10 percent tests in the current year because of some unusual, one-time events
that are not expected to continue. Thus, if a segment becomes reportable in a single
period because of some significant one-time events, the company may choose not to
include it as a separately reportable segment. However, if in the next year, the pasta
business continues to meet the separately reportable segment tests, then the
company’s management would not be able to use this argument.
c. FASB 131 requires separate disclosure of total revenues from external customers
attributed to the domestic operations and the total attributed to all foreign operations.
In addition, disclosure is required of the total of long-lived assets located in the
country of the domestic operations and the total long-lived assets in all foreign
countries. If the revenues or the long-lived assets in any individual country are
material, then separate disclosure of the material revenues or significant amount of
long-lived assets must be made for those specific countries. FASB 131 did not
specifically state a measure of materiality to be used in assessing foreign operations.
Management does have the flexibility to determine the basis of assigning revenues to
specific countries. For example, in this case, management may argue that the
revenues should be based on the point-of-sale to the eventual consumer. Thus, sales
of the pasta products in the U.S. would be assignable to the U.S. domestic market
even though the product may have been manufactured in Canada.

In comparison to the Form 10-K, several differences in Form 10-Q are noted. The
interim financial statements and footnotes are entirely unaudited. As the interim
financial statements are unaudited, no report from the independent public
accountants is provided in the Form 10-Q.

C13-7 Defining Segments for Disclosure
MEMO
To:

Randy Rivera, CFO, Stanford Corporation

From:
Re:

Segment Disclosures

For the current annual reporting period, Stanford Corporation has identified four operating
segments that meet the quantitative thresholds to be considered reportable segments
under FASB Statement No. 131 (FASB 131). Neither the cereals segment nor the sports
beverage segment meets any of the three quantitative thresholds in the current period.
[FASB 131, Par. 18]
However, the FASB 131 quantitative thresholds are intended to insure that information
about significant business segments is included in the disclosures, not to limit the
information that can be provided.
The cereals segment, which was disclosed as a reportable segment last year, can
continue to be reported this year if its disclosure provides significant information for the
users of the financial statements, even though the segment does not meet the specific
criteria for separate disclosure specified in paragraph 22 of FASB 131.
In addition, the segment disclosure standard allows companies to designate additional
operating segments as reportable segments. Management may decide to provide
separate disclosure of segment information for other segments that management feels
that the disclosure would be of information value to the users of the financial statements.
Finally, paragraph 24 of FASB 131 addresses the possibility that identification of too
many reportable segments might result in overly detailed segment information. As a
general guideline, the standard suggests that a reasonable limit of 10 segments should
be used and smaller, somewhat comparable segments can then be combined for
purposes of the footnote disclosure.
As a result of my research, I conclude that it would be acceptable for Stanford to report
information about six segments, including the cereals and sports beverage segments.
Disclosure of information for six segments does not approach the practical limit on the
number of segments suggested in FASB 131. The continuing significance of the cereals
segment and the developing significance of the sports beverage segment make their
inclusion appropriate even though these segments do not meet the FASB 131
quantitative thresholds in the current year.

C13-8 Income Tax Provision in Interim Periods
MEMO
To:

Andrea Meyers, Controller's Department, Vanderbilt Company

From:
Re:

Income Tax Provision in Interim Periods

In computing the income tax provision for interim periods, APB 28 states that the
company should make its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable
for the year. [APB 28, Para. 19] This estimate should reflect all expected tax credits, and
other tax rates, such as foreign taxes. Therefore, anticipated tax credits available to
Vanderbilt should be included in the computation of the expected effective annual tax
rate.
However, the first quarter calculation of this tax rate cannot include the anticipated
energy tax credit benefits because the tax law providing the energy tax credit has not yet
been enacted into law.
Vanderbilt's first quarter estimate of the effective annual tax rate should not include the
expected tax benefits of the energy tax credit. Changes in the tax rate are to be
recognized as changes in estimate, according to APB 28. If the legislation is enacted as
expected, the effect of the tax credit should be factored into the estimate of the effective
annual tax rate made at the end of the third quarter, which would reduce the income tax
provision for the third quarter of 20X5.

C13-9 Questions about Interim Reporting
1. In their third-quarter 10-Q, a company would have the following four income
statements for the respective reporting periods:
a. An income statement for the third quarter and a comparative income statement for
the
third quarter of the prior year.
b. An income statement for the cumulative first three quarters of the current year and
a
comparative cumulative income statement for the first three quarters of the
prior year.
2. FASB 154 requires that a change in depreciation method be accounted for as a
change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The current
and prospective application is used and prior financial statements are not restated. Thus,
the third quarter and subsequent periods would report with the new depreciation method.
3. The company would report a condensed balance sheet as of the end of the third
quarter and a condensed balance sheet as of the end of the prior fiscal year. However, a
company should also provide a comparative, condensed balance sheet as of the end of
the third quarter of the prior fiscal year if it is necessary for understanding the seasonal
fluctuations on the company’s financial condition.
4. No, interim financial statements do not need to be audited. However, some
companies choose to have their interims audited. Summary amounts from the interim
reports are included in the annual financial report and are subject to audit review at that
time.
5. FASB 131 requires segment disclosures in each interim report. However, the level of
detail of information required in the interim report is less than that required in the annual
report.
6. Publicly owned companies classified as accelerated filers must file their 10-Q within
35 days after the end of each of their first three quarters. Companies not meeting the
criteria of accelerated files must file within 45 days after the end of each of their first three
quarters.
7. The methods of computing revenues for interim reporting should be the same as
those used for the annual financial statements. The reason for this is so that financial
statement users may properly determine the revenue patterns during the year. However,
if a company makes a change in accounting principle that affects the computation of its
revenues, the company must retroactively apply the new accounting principle to all prior
interims.
8. No, a company is not required to take a physical inventory at the end of each quarter
although a physical inventory is required as part of the annual audit procedures. A
company usually estimates ending inventory for each quarter based on beginning
inventory plus purchases, less the cost of sales. The cost of sales is estimated using the
normal mark-up percentages from cost to retail.
9. Many companies allocate costs incurred in a quarter that benefit the entire year. A
common example of this are the costs associated with retooling efforts during the short
period the company is shut down each year for retooling to take place. Several allocation
methods are allowed such as allocating a fourth of the retooling cost to each quarter or

13-11


relating the retooling cost to proportional sales revenue during the year. The key point to
selecting an allocation method is that the method must be rational and relate to the
benefits received from the cost. .
C13-9 (continued)
10.
This is a change in accounting principle for which FASB 154 requires a
retrospective application. All prior periods, including prior interims, are restated to the
new accounting principle (percentage-of-completion) for the direct effects of the change.
This presumes that the company is able to determine the effects of the change on
previous interim periods. Otherwise the company must wait until the first day of the next
fiscal year to make the change.
11. This is a change in estimate and is treated currently and prospectively. Prior interims
are not restated for this change in estimates. The change in estimate would be made
effective as of the first day of the interim period in which the change is made.

b According to APB 28, gains and losses arising from events such as
discontinued operations, unusual or infrequent events, and extraordinary items
should be reported in the interim period in which the event occurs. On the other
hand, expenses incurred in one interim period that benefit other interim periods
should be allocated to the interim periods benefited. In the case of Park Corp.,
the $40,000 of property taxes should be allocated to all interim periods. For the
six months ended June 30, 20X5, Park should recognize 50% of the $40,000,
or $20,000, as an expense. However, the entire $100,000 net loss from the
disposal of the business segment should be recognized as a loss for the six
months ended June 30, 20X5. Therefore, a total of $120,000 should be
included in the determination of Park's net income for the six months ended
June 30, 20X5.

The account, Excess of Replacement Cost over LIFO Cost of Inventory
Liquidation, is often reported on the quarterly balance sheets as a current
liability. Some companies report this valuation account as a reduction of
inventory. The account is not reported on the annual balance sheet because the
LIFO inventory at year-end is based on the actual units remaining in inventory at
year end.

(3)

Inventory
Cost of Goods Sold
Accounts Payable
Replace 900 units of LIFO base:
$16,200 = 900 units x $18 LIFO cost
$3,600 = 900 units x $4 difference between
$31 actual and $27 estimated
replacement cost
$27,900 = 900 units x $31 actual cost of
replacement

Case b: No replacement of LIFO base by year-end.
(1)

Inventory
Sold 1,240 units of LIFO base of which 300 units
are expected to be replaced:
$22,320 = 1,240 units x $18 LIFO cost
$2,700 = 300 units x $9 ($27 expected
replacement cost less $18 LIFO cost)

Case b: Market reductions assumed temporary and price will recover by year-end.
If market reductions are assumed to be temporary, the company is not required to
recognize in its interim financial statements the effects of the seasonal changes in prices
(and few companies would under the assumption of temporary reductions recovering by
year-end). However, the company would be required to revalue its year-end inventory to
lower-of-cost-or-market for its annual financial statements.

Major customers are those to whom sales equal or exceed $4,300,000
($43,000,000 x .10). Government units under common control are classified as a
single customer. However, counties are not under the common control of the
state government. Therefore, Cook County is a separate customer from the
State of Illinois.

E13-12 Different Reporting Methods for Interim Reports [CMA Adapted]
1.

Not acceptable. Revenue should be recognized when realized.

2.

Acceptable. The gross profit method may be used for interim reports.

3.

Acceptable. Costs may be allocated on a reasonable basis.

4.

Acceptable. A recovery to original cost may be recorded in a subsequent interim
period.

5.

Not acceptable. Gains are recognized in the period of the sale.

6.

Acceptable. Costs may be allocated on a reasonable basis.

7. Not acceptable. FASB 154 requires that a change in depreciation in long-lived
assets be accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change in
accounting principle. The current and prospective application is used, and no
cumulative effect, nor any retrospective restatement, is used for this change.

P13-18 Interim Accounting Changes
a.

A change in accounting principle of FIFO to LIFO requires the retrospective
application of the newly adopted principle to the earliest balance sheet presented
and then all subsequent financial reports are adjusted to the new method. The
selected interim data in the problem was computed using the FIFO method.
Adjusting each interim period for the difference in cost of goods sold under LIFO,
with its related direct effect of the tax impact (40 percent), results in the following
comparative interims:

b. This change from the straight-line method to the accelerated method of depreciation
because of a change in the estimated future benefits is a change in accounting
estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. FASB 154 requires
that this type of accounting change be accounted for in (a) the period of change, if
the change affects only that period, or (b) the period of change and future periods if
the change has both current effects and future effects. Prechange financial
statements are not restated or adjusted! Thus, the company would use the newly
adopted method (straight-line) for the third quarter ending September 30, and for
future periods for the life of the asset. Footnote disclosures would include the effects
of the change on income from continuing operations and also justification for the
change.

13-33


P13-18 (continued)
c.

Change in the accounting principle of accounting for long-term accounting contracts
from the completed contract to the percentage-of-completion method requires the
retrospective application of the new method (percentage-of-completion) to the
balance sheet at the beginning of the year of the earliest period presented, and
then adjustment of all subsequent financial statements, both annual and interim, to
the newly adopted method. The impacts on sales and gross profits for each of the
quarters are as follows:

Note that the revenue and income streams are quite volatile after the change in
accounting method. Of special note is that the previously reported continuing
operations earnings of $19.2 in the second quarter of 20X6, ending June 30, 20X6,
is changed to a loss of $28.8. Introducing this amount of volatility into an income
stream may be a reason that a firm would not want to make an accounting change.

P13-20 Reporting Operations in Different Countries
a.

First, FASB 131 requires companies to disclose revenues and long-lived,
productive assets in total for domestic and all foreign operations. Then, if revenues
or long-lived assets are material in any single country, that disclosure must be
made on a country basis. Therefore, the company would disclose total revenues
and total long-lived assets for the domestic operations and for total foreign
operations.
Revenues:
Sales to unaffiliated customers from operations in France, Mexico, and Japan
total $426,000,000. Total sales to unaffiliated customers for all geographic
areas, including Domestic, are $856,000,000.
$426,000,000 / $856,000,000 = 49.8%
Long-lived, productive assets:
Long-lived, productive assets of foreign operations total $270,000,000. Total
long-lived productive assets for all geographic areas, including Domestic, are
$505,000,000.
(Note that inventories and other current assets or current liabilities are not
long-lived, productive assets. Therefore, unrealized intercompany profit or
interarea, short-term receivables/payables do not affect the computation of
the long-lived productive assets for purposes of this disclosure.)
$270,000,000 / $505,000,000 = 53.5%

b.

The determination of which foreign operations, on a country basis, are separately
reportable depends upon two tests to determine which individual foreign operations
must be separately disclosed. Watson uses a 10 percent materiality threshold for
these tests.
The 10% revenue test is shown below:
