Table: (4)
Segments of 10% or more of profits are reportable. These are plastics and metals.
3. Asset Test
Calculate assets of segments
Plastics | Metals | Lumber | Paper | Finance | |
Tangible assets | $ 1,501 | $ 3,196 | $ 524 | $ 771 | $ 179 |
Intangible assets | $ 87 | $ 403 | –0– | $ 63 | –0– |
Intersegment loans (debt) | –0– | –0– | –0– | –0– | $ 706 |
Total assets of segments | $ 1,588 | $ 3,599 | $ 524 | $ 834 | $ 885 |
Table: (5)
Perform asset test:
Assets | Percentage | |
Plastics | $ 1,588 | 21.37% |
Metals | $ 3,599 | 48.43% |
Lumber | $ 524 | 7.05% |
Paper | $ 834 | 11.22% |
