    Supplies Used = $2475

    Explanation:

    Bruce Company

    Supplies Purchases $4,300

    Supplies on hand $1,825

    Supplies Used = $ 4300 - $ 1825 = $2475

    The amount of Supplies used ($ 4300 - $ 1825 = $2475) will be shown in the income statement as an expense and the amount of unused supplies or Supplies on hand $1,825 will be shown in the Balance sheet as an asset account. The both of which will total the supplies actually purchased.

    The relating adjusting entry will be

    Supplies Expense $ 2475 Debit

    Supplies Account $ 2475 Credit

    This means the supplies of the amount $ 2475 have been used and is recorded as an expense in the income statement. It will be deducted from the gross profit. The remaining amount $ 1825 is for future use so recorded as an asset in the Balance Sheet and added to the total assets.
