Atlantic Academy is a private school that offers education to children from Kindergarten to Grade 7. The school operates as a not-for-profit entity and oversight of the school is performed by the board of directors. The board reviews the operational and financial results monthly to ensure the school is meeting its budget responsibilities. Revenues for the school generally come from three sources: student tuition, government funding, and various fundraising programs seeking additional funds for specific purposes. Government funding is provided based on the number of students enrolled, and the funds are to be spent only on the provision of education services. A requirement of the government funding is that the school must submit annual audited financial statements.

Jones and Black, CPAs, are the auditors of Atlantic Academy. Their firm policy is to use the following percentages when determining materiality:

  • 5% of normalized pre-tax profit
  • 1% of total assets
  • 2% of equity
  • 2% of revenues or expenditures

Performance materiality is to be 65% of planning materiality.

A sample of 14 children in the 5th grade of North Stratfield School run the 100 meter dash in a average time of 26.2 seconds. Assume the bias adjusted sample standard deviation of the individual 100 meter dash times is 9 seconds. Construct a 99% confidence interval for μμ, the true population mean 100 meter dash time. Since n is small, the t statistic will be used in deriving this confidence interval. What is the degrees of freedom parameter that...
