Answer:

The answer is C. A debit to an expense for $1,875.

Explanation:

First, we need to know the monthly for the service.

Management service fee is $7,500 and its for 2years(i.e 24months)

So monthly fee to be recorded will be $312.5($7,500/24months )

June 30 through December 31 is 6 months.

The expense to be recognized on this day is $1,875($312.5 x 6months).

In accounting, debit increases asset and expense while credit decreases it.

Therefore, Apricot will debit the expense account for $1,875.
