I'm alright right now but we will see the day before the exam Ha. I feel pretty good but some of the questions posted here kind of puts some doubt in me if I really understand the concept or not. Have you taken the AICPA practice exam? If so, how did they get 50,000 for the sales part on the question where you had to make a JE, reversing the sales relief and inventory.

So the answer was:

DR Sales 50000

DR Inventory 45000

CR A/R 50000

CR COGS 45000

[Iggy_1985]

well it says there's a 10% profit margin, so 10% of sale price is profit and 90% is cost of goods sold.

45,000 is the value of the inventory so cogs = 45,000 which is 90% of sales price

45,000/.9 = 50,000 total sales price

profit margin of $5,000 (10% of sales price)

had to check back cause I didn't remember the question 😀 I think I'm going to do the sims in Wiley Book once I do a final 20 mcq on each topic.. if they suck I'm just gonna suck it up and get ninja for one day of access haha

#1.

Which of the following is not generally considered necessary if an auditor applies principal substantive tests to details of balance sheet accounts at an interim date?

A.

The auditor should assess the difficulty in controlling the incremental audit risk associated with applying substantive tests at an interim date.

B.

The auditor should consider whether the year-end balances of the particular asset or liability accounts that might be selected for interim examination are reasonably predictable with respect to amount, relative significance, and composition.

C.

The auditor should consider whether there are rapidly changing business conditions or circumstances that might predispose management to misstate financial statements in the remaining period.

D.

Assessing control risk below the maximum is required in order to have a reasonable basis for extending audit conclusions from an interim date to the balance sheet date.

Internal control is not one of the attestation standards for fieldwork. If you guys haven't, you should read up on the differences between those standards and the GAAS standards.

Random tip on sampling.. if it makes the audit INeffective, it relates to effectiveness. If it makes the audit INefficient, it relates to efficiency.

incorrect acceptance = ineffective

incorrect rejection = inefficient

Random tip on audit risk model – think of detection risk/acceptable level of detection risk as NON-detection risk = the risk of NOT detecting a misstatement.

for some reason those things bug me lol
