Analytical procedures consist of evaluations of financial information made by a study of plausible relationships among both financial and nonfinancial data
Auditing P 7-37
Analytical procedures consist of evaluations of financial information made by a study of plausible relationships among both financial and nonfinancial data. They range from simple comparisons to the use of complex models involving many relationships and elements of data. They involve comparisons of recorded amounts, or ratios developed from recorded amounts, to expectations developed by the auditors.
a. Describe the broad purposes of analytical procedures.
b. When are analytical procedures required during an audit Explain why auditors use analytical procedures extensively in all parts of the audit.
c. Describe the factors that influence the extent to which an auditor will use the results of analytical procedures to reduce detailed tests in meeting audit objectives.

ABBIX has a complex financial system with the following relationships
P5-11 (Challenge Problem) ABBIX has a complex financial system with the following relationships:
The ratio of required reserves to total deposits is 15 percent, and the ratio of noncheckable deposits to checkable deposits is 40 percent. In addition, currency held by the nonbank public amounts to 20 percent of checkable deposits. The ratio of government deposits to checkable deposits is 8 percent. Initial excess reserves are $900 million.
a. Determine the M1 multiplier and the maximum dollar amount of checkable deposits.
b. Determine the size of the M1 money supply.
c. What will happen to ABBIX’s money multiplier if the reserve requirement decreases to 10 percent while the ratio of noncheckable deposits to checkable deposits falls to 30 percent? Assume the other ratios remain as originally stated.
d. Based on the information in (c), estimate the maximum dollar amount of checkable deposits, as well as the size of the M1 money supply.
e. Assume that ABBIX has a target M1 money supply of $2.8 billion. The only variable that you have direct control over is the required reserves ratio. What would the required reserves ratio have to be to reach the target M1 money supply amount? Assume the other original ratio relationships hold.
f. Now assume that currency held by the nonbank public drops to 15 percent of checkable deposits and that ABBIX’s target money supply is changed to $3.0 billion. What would the required reserves ratio have to be to reach the new target M1 money supply amount? Assume the other original ratio relationships hold.

(Break-even and other CVP relationships) Cedars Hospital has average revenue of $180 per patient day
3. Break-even and other CVP relationships
Cedars Hospital has average revenue of $180 per patient day. Variable costs are $45 per patient day; fixed costs total $4,320,000 per year.
a. How many patient days does the hospital need to break even?
b. What level of revenue is needed to earn a target income of $540,000?
c. If variable costs drop to $36 per patient day, what increase in fixed costs can be tolerated without changing the break-even point as determined in part (a)?
