    Dear Mike below is an excerpt from a past question. My question, how do they arrive at 17.7m.?

    Thanks in advance

    Materiality
    Preliminary materiality will be in the region of $17.7 million. This is the mid-point based on the assessment
    of revenue, total assets and profit before tax (see below). If this figure represents a significant change to the
    initial assessment, testing levels may also need to be modified.
    ½%–1% revenue = $12.9m–25.85m
    1%–2% total assets = $16.4m–32.8m
    5%–10% PBT = $6.2m–12.4m

    Add up all those extremes (12.9 + 25.85 + 16.4 + 32.8 + 6.2 + 12.4) and you arrive at 106.55

    Divide by 6 (the number of extremes) and you arrive at 17.7583333

    That’s where the 17.7 comes from

    OK?
