    a Debit Accounts receivables $27,720

    Credit Sales revenue $26,400

    Credit Sales tax $1,320

    Being entries to record credit sales

    b. Debit Cash account $27,195

    Credit Sales revenue $25,900

    Credit Sales tax $1,295

    Being entries to record cash sales

    Explanation:

    The sales made by an entity may involve the immediate or later payment of tax. Either way, both are usually subject to sales tax. Tax on sales is known as output tax. To account for this,

    Debit Account receivables/Cash 105%

    Credit Sales 100%

    Credit Sales tax 5%

    For the credit sale, the sales tax applicable

    = 5% * $26,400

    = $1,320

    Total receivable = $26,400 + $1,320

    =$27,720

    For the cash sales, the sale tax is

    = 5/105 * $27,195

    = $1,295

    Actual sale = $27,195 - $1,295

    = $25,900
