To determine
Introduction:
Requirement 1 To calculate : Sample size and sampling interval.
To determine
Introduction: Total estimated misstatement is defined as the balance account free from the error and input and output both are in balanced condition.
Requirement 2 To calculate : The total misstatement of audit considers given book value and audit value.
To determine
Introduction:Total estimated misstatement is the balance form of the account. Its value should be below the tolerable limit of misstatement.
Requirement 3

Assume that you are auditing the inventory of Husky Manufacturing Company for the year ended December 31, 2015, and you are using MUS. The book value is $8,124,998.66. The risk of incorrect acceptance is 10% (90% confidence level). The tolerable misstatement is $275,000, and expected misstatement is $80,000, so the ratio of expected misstatement to tolerable misstatement is 29%. The ratio of tolerable misstatement to the population book value is 4.3%.
Calculate the sample size and the sampling interval.
Calculate the total estimated misstatement assuming the following misstatements were found in the sample:
Book value
Audit value
$41,906.45
$36,906.45
$335,643.28
$333,643.28
What conclusion do you reach based upon your calculation?
An audit firm is conducting the audit of Diaz Construction Company for the fiscal year ended October 31. Rebecca Smith, the partner in charge of the audit, decides that MUS is the appropriate sampling technique to use in order to audit Diaz’s inventory account. The balance in the inventory at October 31 was $4,250,000. Rebecca 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. Calculate the sample size and sampling interval using Table 8-5 in the textbook (round your interval answer to the nearest whole number).
You are evaluating audit results for current assets for your audit client Pepper Ltd.
You take a random sample of inventory items worth $10,000 for price test and detect $1,000 worth of overstatements. The total carrying value of inventory is $100,000 and sampling error is $2,000. What is the total estimated misstatement for inventory account?
