Assume a Mean-Per-Unit Estimation Variables Sampling Application with a Tolerable

Question 47

Multiple Choice

Assume a mean-per-unit estimation variables sampling application with a tolerable misstatement of $70,000 and a book value of $700,000. After performing the sampling plan, the auditors calculated an adjusted allowance for sampling risk of $45,000 and a point estimate of the population's total audited value to be $650,000. Based on these results, the auditor would:


A) Because the tolerable misstatement exceeds the adjusted allowance for sampling risk, conclude that the population does not contain a material misstatement.
B) Because the total audited value ± tolerable misstatement includes the book value, conclude that the population does not contain a material misstatement.
C) Because the tolerable misstatement exceeds the adjusted allowance for sampling risk, conclude that there is too great a risk that the account balance is materially misstated.
D) Because the total audited value ± adjusted allowance for sampling risk does not include the book value, conclude that there is too great a risk that the account balance is materially misstated.
