Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

During March, office supplies purchased on account = $5,000

On March 1, the balance in the supplies account = $350

On March 31, supplies on hand = $310

Therefore,

$310 should appear on the company's March 31 balance sheet as Supplies.

Company's March income statement as Supplies Expense:

= Supplies, as on March 1 + Purchases - Supplies, as on March 31

= $350 + $5,000 - $310

= $5,040
