Answer:

Account Receivables 1,736 debit

   Sales Revenue             1,600 credit

   sales tax payable            136 credit

Explanation:

The company will charge to the 1,600 sale the sales tax :

1,600 x (0.06 state + 0.025 local) = 136

the salestax is levied in the consumer not the firm thus it is not an expense the company is just an intermediary between the government and the consumer.
