Answer:
Debit Supplies expense $5,661
Credit Supplies account $5,661
Explanation:
At the time of purchasing supplies, the entries includes a debit to supplies accounts, and a credit to cash or accounts payable which is dependent on whether the cash purchased was done via cash or an account
For supplies used, debit supplies expense and credit supplies account. The movement in supplies account over a period is due to purchases and its expressed as;
Opening balance + Purchases - Supplies used = closing balance
$1,693 + $4,413 - Supplies used = $445
$6,106 - Supplies used = $445
Supplies used = $6,106 + $445
Supplies used = $5,661
The effect on the financial reporting of the company is that the liabilities on the balance sheet would be understated. This is because at the end of the year, a possible event was calculated. The management felt from the calculation of that event that it is possible that the event could become an actual liability and that the amount could be estimated explainably. So it would become understated if these calculations of probable events cannot be written down in the balance sheet or in the notes of the final statements. It is like a forecasting of possible events that may happen in the future to prevent losses in the company.
