I have some accounting questions that I have a hard time with. Here is the following:

1. Weekly cash register summary received showing:

Total Sales for week: $4,853
Sales Tax: $147 (hint. Sales tax payable)
Cash Received: $5,000

2. Check#89 was issued to a customer who returned a defective lamp for the amount of $56. The sales tax on the lamp was $3. (Hint. Sales return and allowances = $53; sales tax payable = $3; cash = $56.)
Sales returns slip #21 was issued.

3. Check #80 in the amount of $342 was issued to electrifying bulb co. for payment of April invoice (the bulbs were purchased in April for resale.)

4. Check #85 in the amount of $125 was issued to Alice Peterson as a personal draw on the drawing account.


Could anyone tell me how to enter this in the general journal.


Thanks
Amy
