Answer:

A : debit to Service Charge Expense of $18.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, one should calculate the value, in dollars of the credit card service fee

Fee = 2% x $900 = $18.

Since this fee is classified as "money coming out" of the account, the entry to a record of this transaction should include a debit to Service Charge Expense of $18.

The correct answer is alternative A.

*The whole purchase amount ($900) should be credited and the service expense should be debited, unlike alternative C, which merges both entries into one.
