    Answer: Debit cash $82,680; Credit sales $78,000; Credit sales taxes payable $4,680

    Explanation:

    First we find out the total amount of cash received which should include the taxes received.

    Furniture World got $78,000 in sales and taxes of 6%.

    That means that if we add the 6% we get,

    = 78,000 (1 + 6%)

    = 78,000 (1.06)

    = $82,680

    The total amount of cash received was $82,680.

    Cash as an asset will be debited so we debit cash for the entire amount of $82,680.

    Sales are credited and since Furniture World sold goods worth $78,000 minus tax, this is what we include in Sales so debit Sales for $78,000.

    Now Furniture World owes the government that 6% tax so we credit that amount to the Sales Tax Payable amount which will be,

    $82,680 - $78,000 = $4,680.
