    The $5,000 should be recorded in Casual Wear's current-year financial statements

    Explanation:

    The computation of the ending balance of sales tax payable is shown below:

    = Total Retail sales * state sales tax + sales tax at the end of the year - remitted states sales tax

    = $800,000 * 5% + $4,500 - $39,500

    = $40,000 + $4,500 - $39,500

    = $44,500 - $39,500

    = $5,000

    The state sales tax should always be computed on the retail sales.
