Hi,
Just wondering what a suitable material level for assets is. I am working my way through the above question and part B ‘complex property’ to me appears to be immaterial as its 3.5% of groups assets. I have always been told to use 5% as a guide range for assets, but looking at the answer the examiner states the 3.5% is a material %
Thanks,
November 27, 2016 at 6:10 am #351774This is what I have always used as a guide:
Traditional benchmarks include:
½ – 1% of turnover
5 – 10% of profit before tax
1 – 2% of gross assetsSo 3.5% looks like it’s material!

If an internal intangible asset is recognised on the balance sheet this is in violation of IAS 38. What is the offsetting side to the journal which would derecognise the intangible?
