When using monetary-unit sampling, the upper misstatement limit was $11,200 and the risk of incorrect acceptance was 5%. This means that

A. Tolerable misstatement is $11,200.

B. There is a 95% chance that the actual misstatement in the account is $11,200 or more.

C. There is a 95% chance that the actual misstatement in the account is $11,200.

D. There is a 95% chance that the actual misstatement in the account is $11,200 or less.

Expert Solution

Monetary unit sampling is a statistical sampling method used to determine if the account balances or monetary amounts in a population contain any misstatements. In this method, each individual amount in the population is considered a sampling unit. This method is generally used in auditing for substantive tests of account balances (eg. accounts receivables, investments, fixed assets, inventory).

This method is used by auditors to derive a conclusion in relation to the amount of misstatement in the financial statements. For example the auditor may state that "Based on the sample results, I am _% confident that the amount of misstatement would not exceed $ _" (materiality limit)

In the given question it is stated that the upper misstatement limit was $11,200 and the risk of incorrect accepatance was 5%. This means that there is 5% chance that the amount of misstatement will exceed $11,200 and 95% chance that the amount of misstatement wiil be equal to or less than $11,200.

Thus the answer to the question is option D. i.e. there is a 95% chance that the actual misstatement in the account is $11,200 or less.

Identify the advantages and disadvantages of monetary-unit sampling. The advantages include that monetary-unit-sampling will result in a smaller sample size than classical variable sampling. It also results in a stratified sample item when samples are selected using MUS. The results of the calculation of sample size and the evaluation of the sample aren't based on the standard deviation. The disadvantages include the overstatement of the allowance of sampling risk if MUS is used to detect misstatements. Special design consideration is...
