Double-entry Accounting System

4.21. Analysis of supplies expense adjusting entry

Adjustment No. 7: On May 15, Huske's Consultants acquired supplies for $400 (see Event No. 2). At the end of the accounting period $100 of supplies remained on hand. The difference of $300 (i.e., $400 - $100) shows the amount of supplies used during the year that should be recognized as a supplies expense. The adjustment decreases assets and equity. The decrease in assets (Supplies) is recorded as a credit, and the decrease in equity (by increasing Supplies Expense) is recorded as a debit:

4.22. Presentation of T-accounts for accounting period

We are now going to transfer all transactions to T accounts. Note that we meet the two requirements of the double-entry recording system:

Total Debits = Total Credits

and

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

If the two requirements are satisfied, we are sure that all amounts were posted.
