    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.
