Customer No. 00850 disputed the balance on the confirma- tion of $35,700 in its entirety. Further investigation showed that the balance was charged to the wrong customer.

What do you believe to be appropriate qualitative assump- tions for inherent risk and control risk given the risk of incorrect acceptance used? 2. What do you calculate for sample size? 3. What do you calculate for sampling interval? b. After discussion of the sample size with Josh Thomas, the audit team sets tolerable misstatement at $3,000,000, expected mis- statement at $1,750,000, and risk of incorrect acceptance at 37%. You use a sample size of 73 confirmations. The sampling interval is $981.134. You may assume that except for the follow- ing, you received confirmations from customers that showed no exceptions. Determine whether the following conditions represent errors for purposes of your evaluation. Based on your evaluation and the parameters of the sample you designed above, evaluate the result of confirming accounts receivable.
