Billy Black · Answer 1

The answer is C. Debit to Supplies for $2,800

Explanation:

Supplies of worth $6,000 was purchased in Aug.

And on Aug. 31, $3,200 balance was left.

That means $2,800 ($6,000 - $3,200) has been used.

The supplies expense account will he debited for $2,800.

Note that expense increases with debit and credit decreases expense.

Option B, D, E are wrong because the expense increases and not decreases.
