The stratification calculation example in the chapter shows the results of calculating the projected likely misstatement using the difference method. Assume the results shown in Exhibit EP 10-5 were obtained from a stratified sample.

Required:

Apply the ratio calculation method to each stratum to calculate the projected likely misstatement (PLM). What is PLM for the entire sample?
