1. On December 5, the store received $640 from the Selig Players as a deposit to be returned after certain furniture to be used in stage production was returned on January 15. 2. During December, cash sales totaled $815,325, which includes the 5% sales tax that must be remitted to the state by the fifteenth day of the following month. 3. On December 10, the store purchased for cash three delivery trucks for $129,600. The trucks were purchased in a state that applies a 5% sales tax. 4. The store determined it will cost $119,100 to restore the area (considered a land improvement) surrounding one of its store parking lots, when the store is closed in 2 years. Schultz estimates the fair value of the obligation at December 31 is $93,840.

Note: It is presumed that the value of the three trucks of $ 129,600 is inclusive of the State tax.

If the amount of 129,600 is exclusive of Sales Tax, then the value of the entry would be 105% of 129,600 = 136,080
