In an MUS sample with a sampling interval of $5,000, an auditor discovered that aselected accounts receivable with a recorded amount of $10,000 had an audit valueof $8,000. If this is the only error discovered by the auditor, the projected error ofthe sample would be(1) $1,000. (3) $4,000.(2) $2,000. (4) $5,000.
The 1,000 accounts receivable of Gamco Company have a total book value of $20,000. Wilbur Schneitz, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), has selected and audited a sample of 50 accounts with a total book value of $900. Using nonstatistical variables sampling and the difference estimation technique, Smith has properly estimated a projected misstatement of an overstatement of $3,000 for the entire population. The total audited value of Schneitz’s sample is:
650
