    A. increase expenses and decrease assets by $1,475.

    Explanation:

    Beginning office supplies (Asset) $2,300

    Ending office supplies (Asset) $825

    Office supplies used (Asset decrease) = $1,475

    Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

    Supplies expense (Debit) = $1,475

    Office supplies (Credit) = $1,475

    In that case, an expense increases (supplies expense) due to the decrease of an asset (Office supplies). All the other options are wrong apart from option A.
