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

    Dr Cash 37,100 Cr Sales Revenue 35,000 Cr Sales Tax Payable 2,100

    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%)
