Answer 1

The value of supplies expense that will be reported in the annual financial statement is $11400.

Step-by-step explanation:

The supplies expense that would be reported is calculated as the amount of supplies consumed during the period. The amount of supplies consumed is the difference between the supplies available for consumption less the ending value of supplies on hand.

Supplies available for consumption = Opening inventory of Supplies + Purchases of Supplies

Supplies available for consumption = 5100 + 12400 = $17500

Supplies expense = 17500 - 6100 = $11400

The entry to record supplies expense for the year will be,

Supplies expense 11400 Dr

Supplies account 11400 Cr

Answer 2

Supplies expense is $11,400.00.

Expenses = Beg Inv + Addl Inv - Remaining

= 11,400
