The auditor then compares the audited amount with the recorded amount (inventory cost per perpetual inventory records) and uses difference estimation to estimate the correct total for the finished goods inventory. Results of the 100-item sample: Total audited amount $605,000 Total recorded amount (of these 100 items) $630,000 Number of items incorrectly stated (out of 100) 17 The total recorded amount of the entire finished goods inventory (1,100 items) is $6.988.000. On the basis of difference estimation, the auditor's best guess (point estimate) as to the correct total is A $6,713,000 B. $6,963,000 C. $7,263,000 OD. $6.710,698
