Answer:

a. unaffected

Explanation:

The journal adjustment entry for supplies consumed should be;

Supplies expense A/C                                            Dr.

     To Supplies  A/C                                    

(Being supplies consumed recorded)

Supplies expense being an expense and supplies being an asset, the omission would lead to understated expenses since the expense has not been recorded and overstated assets since the cost of supplies used was supposed to be reduced from assets balance.
