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.

The 1,000 accounts receivable of Gamco Company have a total book value of $20,000. Wilbur Schneitz, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), has selected and audited a sample of 50 accounts with a total book value of $900. Using nonstatistical variables sampling and the difference estimation technique, Smith has properly estimated a projected misstatement of an overstatement of $3,000 for the entire population. The total audited value of Schneitz’s sample is:

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
