Q

After the 10% test you do the 75% test, can you explain the 75% test?

A

Reportable segment test (75% test):
- Anything that passes one of the 3 10% tests is considered a reportable segment. These segments are then clumped together to see if they can all be added up to be 75% or more of total revenues. If the 75% is not met, you start to include the segments which failed the tests to see what would help hit the 75% threshold.

A

Cost x (2/ useful life) x [(number of months in service / 12)] [if placed in service mid year]

29
Q
