Relationships between accounts for year 2 are expected to be similar to those of year 1.

A comparison between year 1 and unaudited year 2 data is as follows:

Year 1Year 2 (unaudited)

Sales$ 1,200,000Can be determined

Cost of Goods Sold720,000792,000 (amount seems all right)

Accounts Receivable (end of year)100,000Can be determined

Note:At the beginning of year 1, accounts receivable were $100,000.

Unaudited data for year 2 indicate the following:

Gross profit to sales is .4612244;Accounts receivable turnover is 8.166666

Determine if there seems to be a discrepancy for unaudited Sales for year 2 and Accounts Receivable at the end of year 2.If so, indicate whether it seems a possible overstatement or understatement, and estimate an amount.BRIEFLY DISCUSS AND SHOW CALCULATIONS.
