B. A credit to Accounts Receivable for $528,000.
C. A debit to Sales Tax Payable for $58,080.
D. A debit to Sales Revenue for $ 528,000.

The answer is A. A debit to Accounts Receivable for $ 586,080

Explanation:

Sales tax is an additional amount of money one pays based on a percentage of the selling price of goods and services that are purchased.

The sales tax amount will be added to sales revenue to form the total bill.

Sales revenue $528,00

Sales tax 11%

Sales tax amount

$528,00 x 0.11

= $58,080

Therefore, total bill is:

$528,00 + $58,080

=$586,080.

Debit increases an asset(accounts receivable) while credit decreases an asset(accounts receivable).

Since the accounts receivable will increase, it will be on debit side.
