The Route 66 Gift Shop, which records sales and sales tax separately, had sales on account of $1,500 and cash sales of $1,000. The state sales tax is 8%. The journal entry to record the sales would include a:

D. Debit to Accounts Receivable of $1,620 and a debit to Cash of $1,080.

Explanation:

Route 66 Gift Shop records sales and sales tax separately so we would have to account for both of them in the amount recorded in the Journal Entry.

For the Accounts Receivables therefore the figure we would record is,

= 1,500 + 1500(0.08)

= $1,620

For the Cash Sales would be

= 1,000 + 1000(0.08)

= $1,080

Therefore option D is correct.
