Answer 1

A)

S.No	Customer Number	Amount as per Books	Amount as per Customer	Mistatemnet
A	13062	$36,321	$18,161	$18,161
B	13672	$986	$0	$986
C	13235	$109	$82	$27
D	13785	$2,483	$2,257	$226
E	Projected Mistatement	$19,400

B)

S.No	Particulars	Amount ($)
A	Pupulation Size	$2,000,000
B	Risk of Incorrect Acceptance	5%
C	Upper Limit on Mistatements	$100,000
D	Expected Mistatement	$10,000
E	Actual Mistatement	$19,400
F	Sample size	75
G	Risk of Incorrect Acceptance (Accounts) (B*F)	4
H	Actual Accounts Reeivables got Mistated	4

As the actual misstatements are higher than expected misstatements accounts receivables are materially misstated.
