    Supplies $180

    Supplies expense $2300

    Explanation:

    Changes between the opening and closing balance of the supplies account is as a result of purchases and use of supplies. When supplies are purchased, it increases the account balance while the use of supplies reduces it.

    Let the cost of supplies used during the period be y

    $380 + $2100 - y = $180

    y = $380 + $2100 - $180

    y = $2300

    The balance in the supplies account on May 31 after adjustment is $180 while that of the supplies expense account is $2300.
