    General Journal Enteries
    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

    1. Debit Cash for the amount received
    Credit Sales Revenue for the amount of sales
    Credit Sales Tax Payable for the amount received

    2. Debit Sales Returns & Allowances, Debit Sales Tax Payable and Credit Cash

    3. Credit Accounts Payable and Credit Cash

    4. Debit Drawing Account and Credit Cash
