    D. Debit Sales Revenue for $140 and credit Cash for $140.

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record the sale:

    Dr Cash 3,500

    Cr Sales revenue 3,500

    Dr Cost of goods sold XY

    Cr Merchandise inventory XY

    The journal entry to record the allowance for the defective merchandise:

    Dr Sales revenue (or sales returns and allowances) 140

    Cr Cash 140

    Sales returns and allowances account is a contra revenue account that decreases sales revenue. In this case, the company uses only sales revenue account which is reduced by debiting it.
