    When they say the cost of supplies is recorded as an asset, they are telling you that they are put into a Supplies account on the Balance Sheet, a current asset. They then write them off to an expense account as they are used. The correct answer is C. If you don't understand why, please ask. This is a common type of entry and you'll run into similar entries as you continue in your class.
