Bаckgrоund Cоngrаtulаtiоns! You are a new staff auditor assigned to audit Akunamatata University, a small university in a rural state. You are conducting the audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20X4, and have been assigned to review football game ticket revenues, which are reported as $1,875,000 in the university’s accounting records. Historically, audit teams have spent extensive time testing individual ticket sales records to verify revenue. However, you decide to use a different approach—a substantive analytical procedure, which relies on estimating expected revenue based on available data rather than testing individual transactions one by one. Available Information: The university hosted seven (7) home football games during the season. The games varied in popularity based on the opponent: One game was against a nationally ranked team, Amazonia State University, which typically draws a larger crowd. One game was against the university’s archrival, University of Amazonia, which also tends to attract more fans. The remaining five games were played against conference opponents, which generally have a more predictable attendance pattern. All games were played during the day, except for one night game—played against a conference opponent—which had different pricing and attendance characteristics. Developing an Estimate for Ticket Revenue: To estimate expected ticket revenue, you decide to use data from a home game against Brewsky University, a typical conference opponent, as a benchmark. The following details are available for that game: Total attendance: 24,000 people (out of a stadium capacity of 40,000). 500 tickets in the upper deck were given away for free to players' family and friends (assumed to be the same for all games). Seating Breakdown for the Brewsky University Game: Box seats: 70% of attendees End-zone seats: 20% of attendees Upper deck seats: 10% of attendees Ticket Prices: Box seats: $12 per ticket End-zone seats: $8 per ticket Upper deck seats: $5 per ticket Adjustments for Certain Games: Based on prior audits and historical data, certain games had different attendance patterns and pricing: Amazonia State University Game: Attendance was 30% higher among paying attendees than a typical game. Ticket prices were 20% higher due to high demand. University of Amazonia Game: Attendance was 20% higher among paying attendees than a typical game. Of the extra attendees, 75% purchased box seats, while 25% purchased upper deck seats. Night Game: Ticket prices increased by 10%, but attendance was 5% lower among paying attendees than a normal game. Each seating category saw a 5% decline in attendance among paying attendees due to cold weather. Required: Develop an expectation for football game revenues. (15 points) Based on the given data, calculate an expected revenue amount. If the tolerable misstatement for the audit is $50,000, can you conclude that the reported football ticket revenue of $1,875,000 is reasonably stated? Why or why not?
