Additional Information

1. The corporate headquarters had general corporate expenses totaling $35,000,000 and assets of $27,000,000 (the chief operating decision maker used neither piece of information in defining operating segment performance).
2. The car rental segment’s $9,000,000 of intersegment sales consisted of rentals to the aerospace ($4,000,000) and communications ($5,000,000) segments. The intersegment sales of $35,000,000 of the heavy equipment segment were made to the aerospace segment to use in its manufacturing operations. The heavy equipment segment realized a profit of $10,000,000 from this sale. At December 31, 20X5, $9,000,000 of this profit was unrealized from a consolidated viewpoint.
3. At December 31, 20X5, no intercompany receivables or payables were related to the intersegment car rentals. However, the heavy equipment segment had a $19,000,000 receivable from the intersegment sale to the aerospace segment. The company’s policy is to include intersegment receivables in a segment’s assets for purposes of evaluating segment performance.
