The journal entries are shown below:

1. Cash A/c Dr $11,500

To Bradley Farm $11,500

(Being Advance received from the Bradley Farm)

2. Bank A/c Dr $42,000

To Deposits A/c $42,000

(Being refundable deposit received)

3. Accounts Receivables A/c Dr $894,520

To Sales Revenue A/c $836,000

To Sales Tax Payable A/c $58,520

(Being credit sales is made including sales tax)

The sale tax payable is computed below:

= Credit sales * state sales tax rate + Credit sales * local sales tax rate

= $836,000 * 5% + $836,000 * 2%

= $41,800 + $16,720
