Cash 2385Dr

Sales 2250Cr

Tax Payable 135Cr

Explanation:

45 bats for $ 50 = 45*50 = 2250

Tax = 6 %of 2250 = $135

total cash received = $2250 + 135 = $2385

The tax payable is the liability of the company to pay tax. The sales are made of $ 2250 and the cash received is $ 2385 including the tax of 6 %.

Usually the sales tax is included in the sales price of an item. But some companies collect it separately and treat it in a separate account.
