The Insurance Company insures homeowners in three regions of the United States: Eastern, Midwest, and South. In the past year, several hurricanes hit the Southern region of the United States, requiring payments to insured homeowners. Management of the company wishes to analyze the profitability of the three key regions and has gathered the following information:arrow_forwardWhen a company has post-acquisition expenditures related to Property, Plant, and Equipment it must determine whether the amount should be expensed as an ordinary repair or capitalized as a major repair, addition, or betterment. This requires considering the nature of the expenditure and the use of judgment. Many companies use a threshold amount. Any expenditure below the threshold is expensed. Items over the threshold are examined and a decision is made about whether to expense or capitalize the item. This approach is justified by both materiality and considering costs and benefits. For example, a company with $94 million in net property, plant, and equipment and $250 million of operating expenses would not consider a $100 repair as material. Plus, if the company had to spend thousands of dollars examining every repair expenditure, the costs of doing the analysis could easily outweigh the benefits.
