d. debit cash $36, 050, credit sales revenue $36, 050

none of the answers is correct, the correct answer should be:

Explanation:

If Kathy sold $35,000 during the month and the sales tax is 6%, then she will have collected $37,100 in cash.

$35,000 belong to her as sales revenue and $2,100 (= $35,000 x 6%) is money she owes as sales taxes.

Since cash is an asset, when it increases it must be debited.

When revenue increases, it must be credited.

Sales tax payable is a liability, when it increases it must be credited.

Dr Cash 37,100 (= 35,000 + 2,100)

Cr Sales Revenue 35,000 (net revenue)

Cr Sales Tax Payable 2,100 (= 35,000 x 6%)

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"
