Being adjustment to account for supplies expenses incurred at year end

Explanation: The supplies account is an asset account, so it has a debit balance. To arrive at the supplies expenses amount journalzed above, we have to do a movement schedule for the supplies account as follows:

Opening balance                                        $1,804

Purchases during the period                      3,283

Supplies expenses                                      (XXX)

Balance                                                           439

To get the value of XXX above, we do $1,804+3,283-XXX=439; using subject of the formula, XXX = $1,804+3,283-439 = $4,648.
