Answer #1
Solution:
Answer is b. $8,081
The amount to be used for the appropriate adjusting entry is $8,081
Working Notes:
office supplies expense 8,081
[Beginning + purchases - Ending ]
=6,671 + 3,811 - 2,401 = 8,081
office supplies 8,081
Since at beginning of the year office supplies were $6,671 and during the month purchases were 3,811 but at end is only $2,401 means balance used during the year hence booked as expense $8,081
