Introduction:
Upper Deviation Rate is the sum of all the samples taken by the auditor and addition of allowance for sampling risk. If the upper deviation limit is less than or equal to the tolerable rate, the sample results support reliance on the control procedures tested.
Allowance for Sampling Risk can be defined as uncertainties associated with sampling. It is the difference between tolerable deviation and mean of population.
Tolerable Deviation Rate is the maximum deviation that an auditor is willing to accept so as to rely upon a specific control. It is inversely proportional to the
If control risk is increasing, it clearly brings out that actual population deviation rate (actual deviation) is higher than deviation computed by auditor that is the upper deviation set by him.
Substantive Testing shows that although actual population rate exceeds upper deviation rate but it doesn’t mean that it exceeds tolerable deviation rate and auditor cannot rely upon it totally.
To describe: Expected population deviation and tolerable deviation rate relationships.

- Forest Enterprises, Incorporated, has been considering the purchase of a new manufacturing facility for $290,000. The facility is to be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years. It is expected to have no resale value after the seven years. Operating revenues from the facility are expected to be $125,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 2 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $50,000, in nominal terms, and they are expected to increase at 3 percent per year. The real discount rate is 5 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
