Step-by-step explanation:
The correct journal entries to record this transaction are:
Option C:
- Debit Accounts Receivable $3,360
- Credit Sales $3,360
- Debit Cost of Goods Sold $1,000
- Credit Merchandise Inventory $1,000
This transaction involves the sale of goods on account, which increases the accounts receivable and records the revenue in the sales account. The cost of goods sold is debited to expense it and reduce the merchandise inventory.
The sales tax payable and sales tax accounts are not affected in this transaction because the tax has already been included in the sales price.
