The correct entry to record the cash sales is

Debit Cash $2058

credit Cash Over and Short $ 8

credit Sales $2050

The cash over and short will record the amount of cash that is not recorded during the initial transaction. Almost all stores experience cash over and short daily, and usually will be taken monthly from an account set aside by the stores to cover the mistake by its employees.
