Answer:

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.
