C Debit purchase $ 7833, Debit sales tax $1567, Credit Payable $9400
D Debit purchase $ 7833, Debit sales tax $1567, Credit Payable $9400the answer is D but i really cant figure it out how?
please helpNet cost + tax = gross cost
100 + 20 = 120If the gross cost is 9400 the net cost would be 9400 x 100/120 = 7833
The sales tax in 7833 x 0.2 = 1567.So
Dr purchases 7833
Dr tax 1567
Credit parables 9400
