See explanation section.

Explanation:

September 30, Cash Debit = 17,600

Sales Credit = 16,000

Sales taxes payable Credit = 1,600

Calculation: Sales taxes payable = 16,000 * 10% = 1,600

To record the sales by cash with a sales tax.

September 30, Cost of goods sold Debit = 11,200

Merchandise inventory Credit = 11,200

As the company uses perpetual inventory system, therefore, the company gave cost of goods sold journal.

October 15, Sales taxes payable Debit = 1,600

Cash Credit = 1,600

To record the cash payment of sales tax to government.
