Explanation of Solution

Revenue test:

	Automobiles	Trucks	Helicopters	Ships
Sales to outside parties	$          4,007,304	$   3,796,432	$  1,411,235	$ 1,003,809
Intersegment sales	$             644,243	$      307,982	—	—
Total revenue of segment	$          4,651,547	$   4,104,414	$  1,411,235	$ 1,003,809

Table: (1)

Table: (2)

Segments with more than 10% of total revenues are automobiles, trucks, helicopters. Hence, these are the segments which are separately reportable.

Profit or loss test

	Automobiles	Trucks	Helicopters	Ships
Revenues from Outsiders	$          4,007,304	$   3,796,432	$  1,411,235	$ 1,003,809
Intersegment Transfers	$             644,243	$      307,982	—	—
Total revenues	$          4,651,547	$   4,104,414	$  1,411,235	$ 1,003,809

Table: (3)

Perform profit or loss test

	Profit	Loss	Percentage
Automobiles	$             881,292		52.24%
Trucks	$             456,530		27.06%
Helicopters	$             348,878		20.68%
Ships		$       (58,879)	(3.49%)
Total	$          1,686,700	$       (58,879)	100%

Table: (4)

Segments more than 10% of profits are reportable. Hence, segments automobiles, trucks, helicopters are reportable.

Asset Test

	Assets	Percentage
Automobiles	$          3,987,776	39.90%
Trucks	$          3,209,078	32.11%
Helicopters	$          1,587,006	15.87%
Ships	$          1,209,970	12.10%
Total	$          9,993,830	100%

Table: (5)

All the segments are reportable in assets test as all are more than 10% of total assets.

The operating segment disclosures prepared by CHIC’s accountants does not comply with ASC 280 as segment helicopters is not reportable in any case according to accountants.
