Answer 1

B. Supplies for $1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The $2,700 balance in Supplies Expense represents supplies purchased in January. At December 31, there was $1,200 of supplies on hand.

The journal entry was incorrect, supplies account should have been debited, not supplies expense account.

Supplies expense for the year = beginning balance + purchases - ending balance of supplies account = $0 + $2,700 - $1,200 = $1,500

the adjusting journal entry should be:

Dr Supplies 1,200

Cr Supplies expense 1,200
