Explanation:

21,492 / (1 + 0.08) = 19,900 sales revenue

21,492 -   19,900   =   1,592 sales tax

900 x 50 = 45,000

45,000 x 0.08 = 3,600

12,744 / 1.08 = 11,800

12,744 - 11,800 = 944

interest on the note:

29,250 x 0.08 x 6days / 90 days = 156

warranty liability:

48,600 x 7% expected warranty cost = 340.2
