To Sales Revenue $4,000

(Being the record of the sale of merchandise is recorded)

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash $3,848

Service Charge Expense ($4,000 ×3.8%) $152

To Sales Revenue $4,000

(Being the record of the sale of merchandise is recorded)

Since sale is made so we debited the cash it increased the assets plus there is service charge expense so the same is also debited as it increased the expenses and at the same time the merchandise is sold so it would be credited as it increased the revenue
