Problem
Strati?ed samples for accounting audits. Accountants use strati?ed samples during audits to verify a company's records of such things as accounts receivable. The strati?cation is based on the dollar amount of the item and often includes 100% sampling of the largest items. One company reports 5000 accounts receivable. Of these, 100 are in amounts over $50,000; 500 are in amounts between $1000 and $50,000; and the remaining 4400 are in amounts under $1000. Using these groups as strata, you decide to verify all of the largest accounts and to sample 5% of the midsize accounts and 1% of the small accounts. How would you label the two strata from which you will sample? Use Table B, starting at line 115, to select the ?rst 5 accounts from each of these strata.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
