Answer to Problem 9.23P
Sample size = 156
Explanation of Solution
Tolerable misstatement :$360,000
Expected misstatement :$90,000
Desired confidence level :95%
Recorded amount of accounts receivable: $9,000,000
Computation of Sample size:
When tolerable misstatement is 4% and the expected misstatement is 1% sample size can be determined using table 8-5 as 156.
Computation of sampling interval:

The Upper misstatement limit UML for the following misstatements.
b

Answer to Problem 9.23P
UML for misstatement:
- $43,269
- $32,365
- $86,538
- $16,153
Explanation of Solution
To calculate UML first sampling interval is required
Tolerable misstatement :$360,000
Expected misstatement :$90,000
Desired confidence level :95%
Recorded amount of accounts receivable : $9,000,000
Sample size :156
Sampling interval :$57,692
Computation of UML:
Computation of tainting factor:
misstatements | Book value | Audit value | Difference | Tainting factorDifference ÷ book value |
1 | $10,000 | $7,500 | $2,500 | 0.25 |
2 | 9,000 | 6,000 | 3,000 | 0.33 |
3 | 60,000 | 0 | 60,000 | 1 |
4 | 800 | 640 | 160 | 0.2 |
Computation of Upper Misstatement limit:
Misstatement | Tainting Factor1 | Sampling interval2 | Projected Misstatement3(1 × 2) | 95% Misstatement Factor. 4 | UML5(3 × 4) |
1 | 0.25 | $57,692 | $14,423 | 3 | $43,269 |
2 | 0.33 | 57,692 | 19,038 | 1.7 | 32,365 |
3 | 1 | 57,692 | 57,692 | 1.5 | 86,538 |
4 | 0.2 | 57,692 | 11,538 | 1.4 | 16,153 |
Total | $102,691 | $178,325 |
The conclusion of whether inventory account balance is materially misstated is made by comparing the tolerable misstatement to the UML. As UML is $178,325 and it is less than the tolerable misstatement of $360,000, it can be concluded that the account balance is not materially misstated.

The net projected population misstatement.
c

Answer to Problem 9.23P
Projected population misstatement is $6,750,000
Explanation of Solution
The projected population misstatement can be calculated by computing ratio of misstatements to total dollars sampled that is
misstatements | Book value | Audit value | Difference |
1 | $10,000 | $7,500 | $2,500 |
2 | 9,000 | 6,000 | 3,000 |
3 | 60,000 | 0 | 60,000 |
4 | 800 | 640 | 160 |
5 | 6,000 | 6,500 | -500 |
6 | 750 | 800 | -50 |
Total | 86,550 | 65,110 |

- Crenshaw, Incorporated, is considering the purchase of a $367,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $67,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $112,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $87,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. NPV Answer is complete but not entirely correct. S 103,141.80arrow_forwardYour firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $610,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $66,000 at the end of that time. You will save $240,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $81,000 (this is a one-time reduction).

(10 MARKS) The hockey stick model of start-up financing, illustrated by the diagram below, has received a lot of attention in the entrepreneurial finance literature (Cumming & Johan, 2013; Kaplan & Strömberg, 2014; Gompers & Lerner, 2020). The model is often used to describe the typical funding and growth trajectory of many startups. The model emphasizes three main stages, each of which reflects a different phase of growth, risk, and funding expectations.
