Answer:

B) Accounts receivable 8,000; Sales 8,000

Explanation:

As the math does not entail which inventory methods to be used, I assume it to be a periodic inventory system.

In the periodic inventory system, the credit sales do not follow any rules irrespective of gross methods or net methods.

Option A is incorrect as that option deducts the discount, but did not have the discount entry.

Option C is incorrect as that option provides the payment date related journal.

Option D is wrong due to the same problem.

Option B is the current answer;

Accounts receivable 8,000; Sales 8,000. As sales are on credits, it should have accounts receivables.
