10. An auditor wishes to estimate inventory shrinkage by weighing a sample of inventory items. From
experience, the auditor knows that a few specific items are subject to unusually large amounts of
shrinkage. In using statistical sampling, the auditor's best course of action is to:
(A) Eliminate any of the items known to be subject to unusually large amounts of shrinkage.
(B) Increase the sample size to lessen the effect of the items subject to unusually large amounts of
shrinkage.
(C) Stratify the inventory population so that items subject to unusually large amounts of shrinkage
are reviewed separately.
(D) Continue to draw new samples until a sample is drawn which includes none of the items
known to be subject to large amounts of shrinkage.
