Answer to Problem 3.31P
- Determination of Materiality.
Income before taxes, $1,050,000
Total Assets, $27,500,000
Total revenue, $38,750,000
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
Income before taxes, $525,000
Total Assets, $1,375,000
Total revenue, $19,375,000
- The overstatement should be adjusted, or auditor would give a qualified opinion
Explanation of Solution
- Determination of Materiality and tolerable misstatement.
- Determination of Materiality.
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
- Evaluation of two misstatements aggregated to an overstatement of income of $1.25 million.
when 5 per cent of the benchmark is applied for overall materiality. The materiality of M&J will be:
Total revenue, $38,750,000 =
Total Assets, $27,500,000 =
Income before taxes, $1,050,000 =
The tolerable misstatement is usually kept in between 50 to 75 per cent for each of the accounts of overall materiality. Thus, we assume 50 per cent of tolerable misstatement.
Income before taxes = $525,000 =
Total Assets, $1,375,000 =
Total revenue, $19,375,000 =
The misstatements and tolerable misstatement are compared with each other. If misstatement is greater than tolerable misstatement or if aggregate misstatements were greater than overall materiality, the business has to correct the financial statements or else auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
In the case of M&J misstatement is both greater than tolerable misstatement and overall materiality.
Income before taxes:
M&J overall materiality $1.05 million and tolerable misstatement $525,000.
Thus, it can be concluded that they have to adjust to $1.25 million in the financial statements or auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
Total Assets
M&J overall materiality $27.5 million and tolerable misstatement $1.375 million.
As aggregated misstatement is an overstatement of income and no information is available about its effect on assets it can be assumed that asset balances are fairly stated in accordance with GAAP.
Total revenue
M&J overall materiality $38.75 million and tolerable misstatement $19.375 million.
Thus, it can be concluded that they have to adjust $1.25 million overstatements if it is related to revenue in the financial statements or auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.

Introduction:
Materiality: The theory of materiality is very important to audit practice, it is planning and executing the audit process using the concept of materiality and its application to audit risk, materiality is used to check if misstatements in the financial statements and disclosures are significant, once misstatements are identified auditor requires reliable evidence in support of findings.

Answer to Problem 3.31P
- Determination of Materiality.
Income before taxes, $2,000,000
Total Assets, $215,000,000
Total revenue, $45,000,000
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
Income before taxes = $1,000,000
Total Assets, $107,500,000
Total revenue, $22,500,000
Explanation of Solution
- Determination of Materiality and tolerable misstatement.
- Determination of Materiality.
- When 5 per cent of the benchmark is applied for overall materiality. The materiality of M&J will be:
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
- Evaluation of misstatements of an overstatement of income of $5.75 million.
Total revenue, $45,000,000 =
Total Assets, $215,000,000 =
Income before taxes, $2,000,000 =
The tolerable misstatement is usually kept in between 50 to 75 per cent for each of the accounts of overall materiality. Thus, we assume 50 per cent of tolerable misstatement.
Total revenue, $22,500,000 =
Total Assets, $107,500,000 =
Income before taxes = $1,000,000 =
The misstatements and tolerable misstatement are compared with each other. If misstatement is greater than tolerable misstatement or if aggregate misstatements were greater than overall materiality, the business has to correct the financial statements or else auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
In the case of M&J misstatement is both greater than tolerable misstatement and overall materiality.
Income before taxes:
M&J overall materiality $2 million and tolerable misstatement $1 million.
Thus, it can be concluded that they have to adjust misstatement in the financial statements or auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
Total Assets
M&J overall materiality $215 million and tolerable misstatement $107.5 million.
As aggregated misstatement is below the overall materiality and tolerable misstatement it can be assumed that asset balances are fairly stated in accordance with GAAP.
Total revenue
M&J overall materiality $45 million and tolerable misstatement $22.5 million.
Thus, it can be concluded that they have to adjust $5.75 million overstatements if it is related to revenue in the financial statements or auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.

Answer to Problem 3.31P
- Determination of Materiality.
Income before taxes, $25,000
Total Assets, $110,000,000
Total revenue, $350,000,000
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
Income before taxes, $12,500
Total Assets, $55,000,000
Total revenue, $175,000,000
Explanation of Solution
- Calculation of Materiality and tolerable misstatement.
- Determination of Materiality.
- Determination of tolerable misstatement.
- Evaluation of misstatements of an overstatement of income of $1.5 million. The misstatements and tolerable misstatement are compared with each other. If misstatement is greater than tolerable misstatement or if aggregate misstatements were greater than overall materiality the business has to correct the financial statements or else auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
When 5 per cent of the benchmark is applied for overall materiality. The materiality of M&J will be:
Total revenue, $350,000,000 =
Total Assets, $110,000,000 =
Income before taxes, $25,000 =
The tolerable misstatement is usually kept in between 50 to 75 per cent for each of the accounts of overall materiality. Thus, we assume 50 per cent of tolerable misstatement
Total revenue, $175,000,000 =
Total Assets, $55,000,000 =
Income before taxes = $12,500 =
In the case of M&J misstatement is both greater than tolerable misstatement and overall materiality.
Income before taxes:
M&J overall materiality $25,000 and tolerable misstatement $12,500.
Thus, it can be concluded that they have to adjust misstatement in the financial statements or auditor will issue qualified or adverse opinion.
Total Assets
M&J overall materiality $110 million and tolerable misstatement $55 million.
As aggregated misstatement is below the overall materiality and tolerable misstatement it can be assumed that asset balances are fairly stated in accordance with GAAP.
Total revenue
M&J overall materiality $350 million and tolerable misstatement $175 million.
Thus, it can be concluded that aggregated misstatement is below the overall materiality and tolerable misstatement it can be assumed that asset balances are fairly stated in accordance with GAAP.

- A sporting goods manufacturer has decided to expand into a related business. Management estimates that to build and staff a facility of the desired size and to attain capacity operations would cost $450 million in present value terms. Alternatively, the company could acquire an existing firm or division with the desired capacity. One such opportunity is a division of another company. The book value of the division’s assets is $250 million and its earnings before interest and tax are presently $50 million. Publicly traded comparable companies are selling in a narrow range around 12 times current earnings. These companies have book value debt-to-asset ratios averaging 40 percent with an average interest rate of 10 percent. a. Using a tax rate of 34 percent, estimate the minimum price the owner of the division should consider for its sale. b. What is the maximum price the acquirer should be willing to pay? c.

You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments to be compounded semiannually to accumulate a sum of $250,000 after nine years at a 10 percent annual rate (18 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the ninth year. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (a) On the day, after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth year), the interest rate goes up to a 12 percent annual rate, and you can earn a 12 percent annual rate on funds that have been accumulated as well as all future payments into the funds. Interest is to be compounded semiannually on all funds. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this rate change (there are 12 payments and compounding dates). The next payment will be in the middle of the fourth year.arrow_forward
