Account Receivables 1,736 debit

   Sales Revenue             1,600 credit

   sales tax payable            136 credit

Explanation:

The company will charge to the 1,600 sale the sales tax :

1,600 x (0.06 state + 0.025 local) = 136

the salestax is levied in the consumer not the firm thus it is not an expense the company is just an intermediary between the government and the consumer.

107x106 is the answer

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
