Reduce.<\/p>\n<p>When a company pays an expense, it reduces its assets. This is because the company is no longer able to use the cash or other assets that it used to pay the expense.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because payment of expenses does not increase assets. In fact, it does the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because payment of expenses does not apportion assets.
