Answer:

The answer is given below;

Explanation:

Supplies (2,440-390)            Dr.$2,050

Supplies Expense/Retained Earnings      Cr.$2,050

The correct entry on April 1 should have been

Supplies        Dr.$2,440

Accounts Payable   Cr.$2,440

But erroneously instead of debiting supplies,the supplies expense was debited and as result supplies expense was overstated and supplies understated.The entry made was;

Supplies expense Dr.$2,440

Accounts Payable Cr.$2,440

As at December 31, $390 supplies have been expense out,therefore by the difference amount (2,440-390),the expense and supplies will be reinstated to their actual values
