The balance of Barkley Co’s supplies account was $800 at the start of the accounting period. During the year Barkley made two purchases of supplies for $2,800 and $1,200.

Supplies of $4,200 on the Balance Sheet
Supplies Expense of $600 on the Income Statement

$1,750
$2,000
$3,000
Answer to Question 1:
Supplies account, Beginning Balance = $800
Supplies purchased = $2,800 + $1,200
Supplies purchased = $4,000
Supplies account, Ending Balance = $600
Supplies used = Beginning balance + Supplies used – Ending
balance
Supplies used = $800 + $4,000 - $600
Supplies used = $4,200
The Barkley’s financial statement for this period would
report:
Supplies expense of $4,200 on the Income Statement
Supplies of $600 on the Balance Sheet.
Option 2 is Correct.
Answer to Question 2:
Amount borrowed = $75,000
Date of Borrowing = May 1, 2018
Interest Rate = 4%
Interest accrued on December 31, 2018 = $75,000 * 4% * 8/12
Interest accrued on December 31, 2018 = $2,000
The Interest payable from the Note Payable for the Year ended December 31, 2018 balance sheet should record the interest expenses which has been accrued i.e. for the period of May 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 which amount to $2,000.
Option 3 is Correct.
