The answer is: C) Kromer Company debits Cash $9,700.

Explanation:

When assets increase, you should record a debit. When liabilities increase, you should record a credit.

Since cash is a current asset, then you should record a debit for $9,700.

$9,700 is the difference between the sales ($10,000) and the amount the credit card company charges ($300).
