    The correct answer is $3 million or more.

    Explanation:

    Materiality is the figure or figures determined by the auditor that indicate the possible inaccuracies or material errors in the financial statements as a whole and in certain types of transactions, accounting balances or disclosures. Such a figure is the result of the base, for example before-tax profits, by the percentage, for example 5 to 10% and can influence the decision making of stakeholders.

    Therefore, a figure that exceeds the level of materiality or relative importance will be considered material, as it affects the decisions of managers and shareholders.
