- In the audit of Checkers, Inc., a nonissuer, the auditor was assigned to a test of cash disbursements. The auditor randomly selected a sample of 75 items out of the 1,500 disbursements made. After completing the test procedures, the auditor determined that the sample contained several misstatements totaling $4,500. All of these were overstatements. The auditor then computed a projected misstatement of $90,000 $24,500 $337,500 $112,500 0000arrow_forwardAssume that a continuing audit client has recorded Accounts Receivable and Equipment both in the amount of $1,000,000.

However, the allowance for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of accounts receivable remained about the same. Which of the following client explanations most likely would satisfy the auditor? a. Credit standards were liberalized in the current year. b. Twice as many accounts receivable were written off in the prior year as compared to this year. c. A greater percentage of accounts were currently listed in the "more than 90 days overdue" category than in the prior year. d. The client opened a second retail outlet in the current year and its credit sales approximately equaled the older, established outlet.arrow_forward
- Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning. Teresa Dziuba was assigned to the Heathcliff Energy audit. She was ensuring that when recognizing revenues, all transactions and events that should have been recorded have been recorded. She was testing the existence assertion. Assume materiality for the financial statements as a whole is $200,000 and performance materiality for accounts receivable is set at $80,000. If the auditor finds one receivable that is overstated by $110,000, the auditor can ignore the error as it is less than $200,000 (overall materiality). Steve Slopak, the group partner was reviewing the work of Manny Fernandez on the Lake Shore Gold account. Manny asked Steve for an explanation on how audit risk_ould affect his work. Steve answered: “Audit risk affects the quantity and quality of evidence gathering."arrow_forwardIf an auditor assigns a tolerable misstatement of $1,000 to accounts payable, he or she would need to obtain less audit evidence for that account than if $100,000 had been assigned. * True O Falsearrow_forwardAssume that you have audited accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 and are confident that the ending balance should be $7,188,000. Further, you know that the audited balance as of 12/31/2019 was $8,462,000. You also verified cash deposits from customers through a review of the bank account. Based on that review you believe that cash receipts from customers ranges from an amount of $40,000,000 to $41,000,000. Which amount below would represent an overstatement of revenue for the year ending 12/31/2020, based on the facts above? 1. $38,500,000 2. $41,000,000 3. $39,762,000 4. $39,100,000arrow_forward
