a. office supplies expense for $750.
b. office supplies for $750.
c. office supplies expense for $24,250.
d. office supplies for $4,750.

a. Office Supplies Expense a/c Dr. $750

Explanation:

We are provided that office supplies are recorded as an expense, in that case entry will be:

Office Supplies Expense A/c Dr.

                 To Cash A/c

After this, there is a valuation of closing balance of supplies in hand.

As per books = $4,000

As per inventory of supplies in hand = $4,750

The difference = $4,750 - $4,000 = $750

This will be recorded in Office supplies expense as in this account only the supplies are recorded.

Therefore correct option is

a. Office Supplies Expense a/c Dr. $750
