A) Dr Supplies Expense $2,600

Cr Supplies $ 2,600

Explanation:

The supplies account had an opening balance of $ 2400. Purchases were made of $ 3000 so the total debit balance was $ 5400. The year end showed a debit balance of $ 2800.

So $ 5400 - $ 2800 = $ 2600 Supplies were used and credited.

An expense account would be used to show this so

Supplies Expense is debited with $ 2600 and

Supplies Account is credited with $ 2600 showing a net debit balance of $ 2800 at the end of the year.
