    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
