Full Answer
C.Segment assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.✓ Correct
ASC 280-10-50-10 establishes three 10% quantitative thresholds. An operating segment is reportable if: 1) Reported revenue is >= 10% of combined revenue; 2) Absolute reported profit or loss is >= 10% of the greater, in absolute amount, of combined profit or combined loss; 3) Assets are >= 10% of combined assets.
Common mistakes
Confusing 10% with 5% (which is for major funds in GASB); assuming liabilities are tested.
