Answer 25: in monetary unit sampling/ Dollar unit sampling, mostly higher amounts are selected and in this case option D will be consider as it is highest and also there is a major difference from last recorded transaction if we go by pattern given in option.

Answer 26: Option A is correct as tracing starts from source document and end at journal/ledger or say financial statements but vouching goes other way around and start from financial statements and end on source document.

Answer 27: When an auditor is sure that he has evidences which are material but not pervasive in nature auditor will give a qualified opinion. In this case qualified opinion is given due to some unavoidable circumstances due to which audit cannot be performed efficiently. In this case option B will be selected.

Answer 28: When an auditor is sure that he has evidences which are both material and pervasive in nature auditor will either disclaimer of opinion or adverse opinion. However disclaimer of opinion given by auditor in case where he is unable to obtain              sufficient and appropriate audit evidence or there is undetected misstatements could be both material and pervasive. In this case auditor already found misstatement in financial statement so he will issue an adverse opinion. Option D will be selected.
