Landi has 15,000 receivable accounts with a total book value of $2,500,000.

- The auditor conducted test of details of transaction and audit client's revenue using sampling. There are 100 sales transactions made by the company. Overall of the 100 transactions, according to auditor’s professional judgment, materiality is set at 5% or 5 transactions. The auditor took a sample of 20 transactions, and it turns out that of the 20 transactions examined, there were 2 misstatement found. Based on the results of the sampling inspection, the auditor concluded that there was 2 out of 20 means 10%, and judge this finding as material misstatement. When in fact, overall of the 100 transactions there were only that 2 transactions occurred irregularities or errors that accidentally that two were chosen on 20 random sampling.

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_forward
