A component of an account balance has a recorded balance of $10,000 and an audited valueof $8,000. By using monetary unit sampling, if the sampling interval is $20,000, the projected misstatement would bea. $2,000.b. $4,000.c. $5,000.d. $10,000.
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.
d. Assume that based on additional controls implemented by ELM, your audit team has decided to reduce the expected misstatement from $77,928 to $19,482 (0.5 percent of the recorded balance of the transactions). What is the necessary sample size, holding all other factors constant?
An auditor is using PPS Sampling to determine the projected error in Accounts Receivable. Two errors were discovered: Error #1: Book Value of $400, Audit Value of $100 Error #2: Book Value of $6,000, Audit Value of $2,000 The Sampling Interval was $2,000 Total Projected Error is: a. $2,100 b. $2,833 c. $4,300 d. $2,300 e. $5,500
Calculate total projected mistreatment if the following three mistreatments were discovered in a PPS sample when the sampling interval is $1,000. Recorded Amount Audit Amount Sampling interval Total Projected Mistreatment 1st mistreatment $400 $320 $1,000 _________________ 2nd mistreatment 500 0 $1,000 _________________ 3rd mistreatment 3,000 2,500 $1,000 _________________

Upper Limit on Misstatements Calculation: Monetary Unit Sampling. Carson Allister is performing an MUS application in the audit of Bird Company’s accounts receivable. Based on the acceptable level of the risk of incorrect acceptance of 5 percent and a tolerable misstatement of $120,000, Allister has calculated a sample size of 75 items and a sampling interval of$25,000. After examining the sample items, the following misstatements were identified: Item Recorded Balance Audited Value 1 $35,000 $28,000 2 10,000 8,000 3 6,000 3,000 Required:a. Calculate the upper limit on misstatements for Bird Company’s accounts receivable.b. Provide a brief description of the meaning of the upper limit on misstatements calculatedin part (a).c. What would Allister’s conclusion be with respect to the fairness of Bird’s accountsreceivable balance?
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. Calculate the incremental allowance. Calculate the upper limit on misstatement. What would the auditors’ conclusion be for the population based on the analysis? explain please

Sample Size and Sampling Interval Determination: Monetary Unit Sampling. CaseyPaul is considering the use of MUS in examining Stanley’s accounts receivable, which wererecorded at $300,000. Using the audit risk model, Paul has identified a necessary risk ofincorrect acceptance of 10 percent and has established a tolerable misstatement of $25,000and an expected misstatement of $10,000.Required:a. Determine the necessary sample size for the audit of Stanley’s accounts receivable.b. Based on the sample size determined in part (a), what is the appropriate sampling interval?c. Briefly describe how Paul would select the sample from a computerized customer listthat Stanley maintains.d. How would each of the following changes in Paul’s sampling plan impact the sample size andsampling interval? For each change, use the original parameters noted in the problem. (Verifyyour answer by calculating the sample size associated with each change.)1. A reduction in the necessary level of the risk of…
An auditor had decided to use probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) sampling, also called dollar-unit or cumulative monetary unit (CMU) sampling, in the audit of the client’s accounts receivable balance. The auditor discovered 3 misstatements while doing their testing. Complete the spreadsheet below and calculate the total projected misstatement.
An auditor is going to choose a sample of accounts receivable balances at year end to test and has determined the appropriate sampling interval to be 4 with a random start of the second balance in the list. Presented below are the first 10 accounts in the list (in order). Determine the first 2 account balances (including the random start) that will be sampled and tested using the sampling interval.
