This is a piece of cake! Just remember, it's always the balance on hand at the end. No need to overthink it.

Option A is just asking to get you in trouble with the IRS. Debit the supplies for the full amount, people!

I'm leaning towards Option C. It makes the most sense when you do the math: $9,000 + $45,000 - $11,500 = $20,500.

Woah, hold up! Option D is way off. How do you get $42,500 from these numbers? Someone needs to go back to Accounting 101.

I disagree, I believe the adjusting entry should be a debit to office supplies on hand for $11,500 because that's the actual amount on hand.
