Question:
1. Assume you've been asked to perform tests of details on a series of sales transactions. The manager on the engagement tells you planning materiality is $1750,000, and tolerable misstatement for this procedure is $800,000. From a total population of 2208 transactions totaling $33,531,702, you draw a sample of 161 observations representing $2,565,887 in sales. In examining the detail of each transaction in your sample, you identify a series of misstatements that result in an overstatement of $208.615
what is the amount of likely overall misstatement if you project your sample finding to the overall population based on the misstatement per transaction?
