Calvin Inc. has operating segments in five different industries: apparel, building, chemical, furniture, and machinery. Data for the five segments for 20X1 are as follows:
1. The corporate headquarters had general corporate expenses totaling \(\$ 235,000\).

The other corporate expenses are not used in segmental decision making by the chief operating officer.
2. The company has an intercorporate transfer pricing policy that all intersegment sales shall be priced at cost.
3. Corporate headquarters had assets of \(\$ 125,000\) that are not used in segmental decision making by the chief operating officer.

Justify your answer by preparing a schedule showing the percentages for each of the three 10 percent segment tests for each of the five segments using these new amounts for segment assets.
