I’m a bit confused about the specifics, but I think the 10% rule is significant in segment reporting, so maybe A is the right choice?

I feel like we covered this in class, and I vaguely recall that major customer information isn't always required, which makes me think option D could be correct.

I think we practiced a similar question where identifying major customers was emphasized, so I might lean towards option B.

I remember we discussed that external customer disclosures are important, but I'm not sure if it's about the 10% revenue threshold or the identity of the customer.

This is a tricky one. I'm a bit confused about the difference between "external customer" and "major customer" disclosures. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The wording of the options seems pretty clear, so I'll just need to apply my knowledge of segment reporting requirements.

Okay, I think the key here is that the question is asking about an "enterprise-wide" disclosure, not just for a specific segment. So I'll need to think about that in my analysis.

D? Really? Information on major customers is not required? That just seems too good to be true.

I think Onita is correct. It makes sense to disclose the identity of customers providing a significant portion of revenue for a specific segment.

I think the correct answer is A. The disclosure of external customers contributing more than 10% of total enterprise revenue is a required enterprise-wide disclosure.
