You are testing your client's allowance, recorded at $1,500,000, with a monetay unit sample. The
following results are at a 2-sided confidence level of 90%.
Lower confidence limit
$1,200,000 uncollectible
Upper confidence limit
$1,900,000 uncollectible
Max. tol. misstatement:
$500,000
The client already has a previously recognized a $1.500.000 allowance for uncollectibles
recorded.
Which of the following would be a materially correct DR or CR adjustment amount?
a.
DR Allowance $500,000
CR Allowance $500,000
No adjustment needed.
CR Allowance
$1,550,000
b.
d:
A financial analyzer believes that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse (that is, try to avoid risk in their investment decisions) is at least 0.7. A sur-vey of 32 investors found that 20 of them were risk-averse. Formulate a one-sample hypothesis solution for a proportion to asses this belief.
(Answer on Excel)
2) What was the standard deviation of the risk premium? (Ignore that the estimation is from a sample of data.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
3) What was the average risk premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
