@barelystayingsane thanks for your explanation…it really helped me out big time…finally makes sense.
I was working on some simulations for Audit B Chapter 5 (Sampling Risk)…The actual sim I am working on is #7 on PPS sampling. I am pretty sure I am doing everything correct…but for some reason on a couple of the questions I am off on the projected misstatement by ONE dollar. I check the solution and my tainting percentage is correct so I do not see where I am getting thrown off.
Ex. Need to Round to 2 decimals
Recorded Amount- $32,850
Audited Amount- $31,900
Difference is $950
Tainting percentage – 2.89% (950/32,850 = .02891)
Sampling Interval- $40,000
MY Projected Misstatement- $1156 ($40,000 x 2.89%)
Solution says: $1157
* Any advice? has anyone has this problem before? Im off by a dollar on a couple of them because….but for the rest of the problems I was correct.
