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,
This 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 assets
So 3.5% looks like it’s material!
Thank you! One other question 🙂
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?
What was the double entry by which the internally-generated intangible asset was first recognised?

Find that out … and then reverse it
