Explanation / Answer

17.

Given sales tax = 0.07

Total sales = 1

Net sales = 1 – 0.07 = 0.93

Sales tax payable = $3,500,000 × (0.07 / 1)

                              = $245,000

Answer: c

18.

There is over-recorded of tax amount from January to June. This should be adjusted by reversing the original entry.

Already charged = $26,000 × (6/12) = $13,000

Need to be charged = $25,000 × (6/12) = $12,500

Excess amount charged = 13,000 – 12,500 = $500

This should be debited by liability and credited by expense.
