Lawrence Company maintains its accounts on the basis of a fiscal year ending October 31. Assume that you were retained by the company in August to perform an audit for the fiscal year ending October 31, 200X. You decide to perform certain auditing procedures in advance of the balance sheet date. Among these interim procedures is the confirmation of accounts receivable, which you perform at September 30.

The accounts receivable at September 30 consisted of approximately 200 accounts with balances totaling \(\$ 956,750\). Seventy-five of these accounts with balances totaling \(\$ 650,725\) were selected for confirmation. All but 20 of the confirmation requests have been returned; 30 were signed without comments, 14 had minor differences that have been cleared satisfactorily, and 11 confirmations had the following comment:

1. We are sorry, but we cannot answer your request for confirmation of our account because Moss Company uses a computerized accounts payable voucher system.

2. The balance of \(\$ 1,050\) was paid on September 23, 200X.

3. The above balance of \(\$ 7,750\) was paid on October \(5,200 \mathrm{X}\).

4. The above balance has been paid.

5. We do not owe you anything at September 30,200X, since the goods represented by your invoice dated September 30, 200X, Number 25,050, in the amount of \(\$ 11,550\), were received on October 5, 200X, on FOB destination terms.

6. An advance payment of \(\$ 2,500\) made by us in August \(200 \mathrm{X}\) should cover the two invoices totaling \(\$ 1,350\) shown on the statement attached.

7. We never received these goods.

8. We are contesting the propriety of the \(\$ 12,525\) charge. We think the charge is excessive.

9. Amount okay. As the goods have been shipped to us on consignment, we will remit payment upon selling the goods.

10. The \(\$ 10,000\), representing a deposit under a lease, will be applied against the rent due to us during 200X, the last year of the lease.

11. Your credit in the amount of \(\$ 440\), dated September 5, 200X, cancels the above balance.
