Michelle Le, the partner in charge of the audit, decides that MUS is the appropriate sampling technique to use in order to audit Coomes' inventory account. The balance in the inventory at October 31 was $4,250,000. Michelle has established the following: risk of incorrect acceptance = 5% (i.e., the desired confidence level of 95%), tolerable misstatement = $212,500, and expected misstatement = $63,750. Required: a. Calculate the sample size and sampling interval. Sample size: 124(2)
Sampling interval: 4,250,000/124=34,274.19 b. Hon Zhu, staff accountant, performed the audit procedures listed in the inventory audit program for each sample item. Using the sample size computed in part (a), calculate the upper limit on misstatement based on the following misstatements (on the next page). What should Hon conclude about Coomes' inventory account? Error Number Book Value Audit Value 1 $ 6,000 $ 1,000 = (6000-1000)/6000=0.83 2 24,000 9,000 = (24000-9000)/24000=0.63 3 55,000 5,000 = N/A Upper limit misstatement= 233,571 The computed UML 233,571 is more than the allowable misstatement value of 212,500 Mr. Zhu cannot accept the inventory account since the value is reasonable.
