    You need to know what accounts are to be used in this question. That being said you will have a Debit to Cash for $5,000 a Debit to whatever account is used to record a purchase like Inventory and you will have a Credit to Sales Revenue for $10,000

    Also you will need to account for the cost to the dealership of the car being sold and your entry will be a Debit to Cost of Goods Sold and a Credit to Inventory for the cost of the vehicle.
