Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay to the tax authorities during the year is shown below;
Let us assume the accrued payment be $6,000
Let us assume the amount pay to the tax authorities be X
Beginning Taxes payable account balance + Accrued payment - X = Ending taxes payable account balance
$3,000 + $6,000 - X = $7,000
$9,000 - X = $7,000
So, the X is
= $9,000 - $7,000
= $2,000
hence, the amount pay to the tax authorities is $2,000
