Mack · Answer 1

The answer is: C) purchase of supplies for on account.

Explanation:

When Norman Company bought office supplies it will record them as supplies on hand, which are a type of current asset.

When you buy things on account, it means that you will pay the purchase at a later date, so a liability must be recorded.
