    Adjusting Journal Entries:

    December 31:

    Debit Insurance Expense $2,900

    Credit Prepaid Insurance Account $2,900

    To record the insurance expense for the year.

    Debit Supplies Expense $10,450

    Credit Supplies Account $10,450

    To record the supplies expense for the year.

    Explanation:

    a) The whole portion of Prepaid Insurance has expired since payment was made for 6 months on July 1. This covers the period from July 1 to December 31.

    b) The total supplies inventory for the year will be $12,100 ($8,400 + 3,700). Since the physical count shows $1,650 of supplies available, it means that the difference $10,450 ($12,100 - 1,650) had been used. This portion is therefore expensed in accordance with the accrual concept.
