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 auditors of Landi Corporation wish to use a structured approach to nonstatistical sampling to evaluate the reasonableness of the accounts receivable. Landi has 15,000 receivable accounts with a total book value of $2,500,000. The auditors have assessed the combined level of inherent and control risk at a moderate level and believe that their other substantive procedures are so limited as to require a “maximum” risk assessment. After considering the overall audit plan, the auditors believe that the test’s tolerable misstatement is $57,500. Use figure below to determine the reliability factor. Please calculate the sample size.

- Evan Kristopher, CPA intends to use probability-proportional-to-size sampling. He has properly selected and audited a sample of 100 accounts receivable from his client’s population of 3,000 accounts. He calculated a sampling interval of $6,000 and the tolerable misstatement for the account is $30,000. Evan also recalls that “basic precision” is equal to the appropriate reliability factor multiplied times the sampling interval. He wishes to accept a risk of incorrect acceptance of 10%. He found that 97 of the 100 accounts in the sample were properly calculated. However, the following three errors existed: Book Value Audited Value $75 $70 1,000 750 9,300 6,720 Required: Calculate the projected misstatement. Calculate the basic precision.

Kendal Clarke was auditing the miscellaneous expense account. She decided to chose every transaction that had a value of $20,000 or higher. Kendal is performing a statistical sampling technique known as systematic selection. Melissa Wilson had concluded that control risk was low for her audit client.

- Evaluating a Sampling Application. Tom Barton, an assistant accountant with a local CPAfirm, recently graduated from Other University. He studied statistical sampling for auditing in college and wants to impress his employers with his knowledge of modern auditingmethods.Barton decided to select a random sample of payroll checks for the test of controls usinga tolerable rate of deviation of 5 percent and an acceptable risk of overreliance of 5 percent. The senior accountant told Barton that 2 percent of the checks audited last year hadone or more errors in the calculation of net pay. He decided to audit 100 random checks.Because supervisory personnel had paychecks with higher amounts than production workers, he selected 60 of the supervisor checks and 40 checks of the others. He was very carefulto see that the selections of 60 from the April payroll register and 40 from the August payrollregister were random.The audit of this sample yielded two deviations, exactly the 2 percent rate…arrow_forwardSample Size Relationships: Monetary Unit Sampling.
