    The computation and the journal entries are as follows

    On May 15

    1. Supplies A/c Dr $3,300

    To Cash A/c $3,300

    (Being the supplies purchased for cash)

    On May 31

    2. Supplies expense A/c Dr $3,500

    To Supplies A/c $3,500

    (Being supplies account is adjusted)

    The supplies expense is computed below

    = Supplies balance + purchase of supplies - supplies on hand

    = $500 + $3,300 - $300

    = $3,500

    3. Now the adjusting balance is

    For supplies = ending balance = $300

    And, the supplies expense is $3,500
