Verification of total debit and credit column:
Total Debit = Total Credit($15,174.85+$97.65 ) = ($3,481.00+$11,230.00+$561.50) =$15,272.50 =$15,272.5
Working note 1:
Calculate the amount of cash on dated 5th January:
Cash(debit)on dated 5thJanuary}=(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)=[$2,800+(5%×$2,800)]=[$2,800+$140]=$2,940
Working note 2:
Calculate the amount of bank credit card expense on dated 5th January:
Bank credit card expense on dated 5thJanuary}=[(Sales + 5% on sales tax)×Credit card fee %]=[$1,200+(5%×$1,200)]×3%=[$1,200+$60]×3%=$37.80
Working note 3:
Calculate the amount of cash on dated 5th January:
Cash(debit)on dated 5thJanuary}=[(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)−Bank credit card expense]=[$1,200+(5%×$1,200)−$37.80]=[$1,200+$60−$37.80]=$1,222

Cash(debit)on dated 19thJanuary}=(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)=[$2,230+(5%×$2,230)]=[$2,230+$111.5]=$2,341.50
