Adjusting entries

First part of journal entry:

Supplies expense account:

Since supplies are consumed during the period, the expense of supplies will increase, therefore, the supplies expense account will be debited by the difference of $1,385 - office supplies account and the $435 -physical count

Supplies expense account = $1,385 - $435 = $950

Second part of journal entry:

Office supplies account

Office supplies account will be restated/adjusted to $435 by reducing the account by $950. This will be a decrease in the office supplies account (current asset). This will be represented by a "credit" to office supplies account.
