Chapter 16, Problem 49ITC
The audit staff of Adams, Barnes & Co. (ABC), CPAs, reported the following audit findings in their 20X5 audit of Keystone Computers & Networks (KCN), Inc.:
- 1. Unrecorded liabilities in the amount of $6,440 for purchases of inventory. These inventory items were counted and included in the year-end total.
- 2. Projected misstatement from confirmation of accounts receivable in the amount of $2,042 understatement.
- 3. Projected misstatement from price tests of inventory of $9,510 overstatement.
- 4. The staff of ABC believes that the amount of KCN’s allowance for uncollectible accounts should be increased by $5,000.
In addition, the audit staff has decided that for evaluating a material misstatement of the financial statements, the following guidelines should be used:
Current assets—$50,000
Noncurrent assets—$75,000
Current liabilities —$50,000
Noncurrent liabilities—$75,000
Net income before taxes—$65,000
Required:
- a. Prepare a schedule modeled after Figure 16.4 to be used to evaluate the above audit findings, assuming that KCN’s marginal tax rate is 25 percent.
- b. Decide whether the results indicate that there is a sufficiently low risk of material misstatement to justify ABC’s audit opinion.
