Expert Solution

Correct Answer is - "C"

Explanation-

Actual Physical count - $1000

Amount Reflecting in Books - $2500

Difference = 2500-1000 = 1500

Since 'office supplies on hand account' has a debit balance we need to credit this account by $1500 and debit "office supplies expense" account by $1500(Since expense account always has a debit balance) to bring the office supplies on hand up to date at year end.
