1. Problem: You have been assigned to work the test of details in the Accounts Receivable account. You have been given the Trial Balance, and the A/R balance is $300,000. Assume that you have looked into the previous years work papers and have determined the following:

• The Tolerable Error for this account is $10,000.
• The Expected Error for this account is $4,000.
• The Risk of Incorrect Acceptance is 10%.

Using the tables above, what is the Reliability Factor for Risk of Incorrect Acceptance? What is the Expansion Factor for Risk of Incorrect Acceptance? Hint: No calculations are needed.
