    1. Accounts Receivables $16900 Dr

    Service Revenue $16900 Cr

    2. When supplies were purchased, the entry was

    Supplies account $6400 Dr

    Accounts payable $6400 Cr

    At year end on December 31, the entry to adjust supplies is

    Supplies expense $5200 Dr

    Supplies Account $5200 Cr

    Explanation:

    1)

    The sales were made on account which means they were made on credit. The entry to record credit sales is Accounts receivable debit and the service revenue credit as this revenue has been earned following the accrual basis and the payment against this is due to be received.

    2)

    The supplies are an asset and when they were purchased on account, the Supplies account is debited while Accounts payable against these supplies are credited as payment for these supplies are yet to be made.

    On 31 december, we adjust the supplies account to calculate the supplies that have been used and transfer them to expense account.

    The supplies expense is 6400 - 1200 = 5200
