\(n=\frac{\mathrm{BV}^{*} \mathrm{R} * \mathrm{ETF}}{(\mathrm{TEL}-\mathrm{EEL})}\)

Where:

and:
\[ n=\left(B V^{*} \mathrm{R}^{*} \mathrm{ETF}\right) /(\mathrm{TEL}-\mathrm{EEL})=(\$ 600,000 \times 4.75 \times 1.00) /(\$ 24,000-\$ 0)=119 \]
Explain the rationale for why 119 "sample units" should be sufficient for the auditor to draw statistical conclusions about accounts receivable based on the results of the test(s) performed. As part of your discussion, consider the roles of TEL, EEL, ETF, and ARIA.
