    B. $10,000 is recorded as an expense.

    Explanation:

    When bonds are issued, the costs associated with it should be treated as a one-time expense, thus, for government-wide financial statements, debt issuance costs should be recorded as a $10,000 expense in the first year instead of being broken into parts to be paid every year.
