Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

To determine the projected misstatement for the population using ratio estimation, the following calculation can be used:

ProjectedMisstatement=(SampleMisstatementSampleBookValue)PopulationBookValueProjectedMisstatement=(SampleBookValueSampleMisstatement)PopulationBookValue

Given:

Sample Misstatement = $420,000

Sample Book Value = $12,000,000

Population Book Value = $20,000,000

ProjectedMisstatement=(420,00012,000,000)20,000,000ProjectedMisstatement=(12,000,000420,000)20,000,000

ProjectedMisstatement=0.03520,000,000=700,000ProjectedMisstatement=0.03520,000,000=700,000

Therefore, the projected misstatement is $700,000.
