The journal entry to record the sale of merchandise for cash would be to debit Cash for $10,000 and credit Sales for $10,000. Additionally, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) should be recognized to reflect the cost of the merchandise sold, so COGS should be debited for $7,590 and Inventory should be credited for $7,590. Therefore, option B correctly reflects the dual entry accounting required for this transaction.
