b) Supplies Expense 800 Supplies 800

Explanation:

Before recording the journal entry, first we have to determine the adjusted balance of supplies account which is shown below:

= Supplies account balance + purchase supplies - supplies on hand

= $500 + $400 - $100

= $800

Now the journal entry would be

Supplies expense A/c Dr $800

To Supplies A/c $800

(Being supplies account is adjusted)
