Expert Solution
Step 1

Hi! Thank you for the question, As per the honor code, we'll answer the first question since the exact one wasn't specified. Please submit a new question by specifying the one you'd like answered in the remaining questions.  

 

The amount that is yet to be received from the customer on the sales made to them is referred to as accounts receivables.

Sales tax is the amount that is charged by the seller from the buyer as a percentage of sales on the price of goods and is collected at the time of sales.

Step 2

24: Total receivables:

Total receivables=Credit sales+Credit sales×Percentage of sales tax=$750,000+$750,000×7%=$802,500

 

Therefore, the total receivables are of $802,500.
