The journal entries required would be:

DR Cash 1000
CR Share capital 1000

DR Inventory 800
DR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 160
CR Cash 960

DR Cash 1200
CR Revenue 1000
CR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 200

DR Cost of sales 400
CR Inventory 400

Now try working out the net effect of these and you should get your answer.

Perhaps the solution to the question considers the tax liability to have been paid with a further journal of

DR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 40
CR Cash 40

Where are you getting this question from?
