    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
