The supplies inventory on August 1, 2017 was $9,350. Supplies costing $24,150 were acquired during the year and charged to the supplies inventory. A count on July 31, 2018 indicated supplies on hand of $8,810. Present, in journal form, the adjustment that would be made on July 31, 2013, the end of the fiscal year.

Answer 1

Answer:

supplies expense 24,690 debit

    supplies                             24,690 credit

to record used supplied for the period

Explanation:

we will calcualte the suppliesexpense as follows:

beginning supplies + purchase = ending + consumption

the left side are the input of supplies from the period.

They can be in stock from prior period or being purchased during the current period

Then, the right side is the destination, they could be used or keep at inventory

Now, we plug the values into the formula andd solve for the missing value:

9,350 + 24,150 = 8,810 + consumption

9,350 + 24,150 - 8,810 = consumption = 24,690‬

This will be the supplies expense to recognize
