Answer:
The journal entry for recording the original sale is shown below:
Explanation:
The journal entry for recording the original sale is as follows:
Accounts receivable A/c................................Dr $735
Sales Tax A/c...................................................Cr $35
Sales A/c............................................................Cr $700
As sales is made on credit so the accounts receivable account will be debited against the Sales account, which is credited. And there is sales tax charged on selling necklaces, which is credited to the sales tax account.
Computation of Sales Tax as:
Sales tax = Selling amount × Tax
where
Selling amount = Number of Necklaces × Price
= 20 × $35
= $700
So,
Sales tax = $700 × 5%
Sales tax = $35
