Answer:

D) a debit to Accounts Receivable for $572,250

Step-by-step explanation:

When revenue is earned but cash is yet to be received and sales tax are to be accounted for at 9%, the entries required are;

Debit Accounts receivable 109%

Credit Revenue account 100%

Credit Sales tax payable 9%

Hence the amount to be accounted in accounts receivable

= 109% * $525,000

= $572,25 0
