AICPA CPA-Financial Exam - Topic 3 Question 13 Discussion

Posted by Mirta on May 09, 2022 at 04:45 PM

YIV, Inc. is a multidivisional corporation, which has both intersegment sales and sales to unaffiliated customers. YIV should report segment financial information for each division meeting which of the following criteria?

Suggested Answer: C

Choice 'c' is correct. Segment revenue is 10% or more of combined revenue of all the company segments.

Rule: To be significant enough to report on, a segment must be at least 10% of:

1. Combined revenues (whether intersegment or affiliated customers) or

2. Operating profit (of all segments not having an operating loss), or

3. Identifiable assets.

Choice 'a' is incorrect. Rule is 10% of 'operating profit,' not 'consolidated profit.'

Choice 'b' is incorrect. Segments with 'operating losses' are not combined with those having 'operating profits' in determining a segment.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. 'Consolidated revenue' would not include 'intersegment revenue.' Rule is 'combined revenue,' not 'consolidated revenue.'

I think it's about the combined operating profit too.

Wait, is it really 10% for consolidated revenue? Seems high.

I'm a little confused by the options here. I'm not sure which one is the best way to get the currency formatting I need. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I've heard of Ethereum before, but I'm not super familiar with it. Is it a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, or is it something more? I'll have to do a quick review before answering this one.

Wasn't detecting sensitive info in images also a capability we covered? I always get mixed up between that and detecting faces.

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure about this one. The options seem a bit similar, so I'll have to think it through carefully before answering.
