Since, in the given question, the laundry supplies purchase on Jun 2 which is $6,500 but on June 30, it only holds $1,500. So, on June 30, the company has $6,500 - $1,500 = $4,000 supplies.

And, the company purchase supplies so it is a expense for a company which would be debited in respect to laundry supplies

Hence, The adjusting entry would be

Laundry supplies expense A/c Dr $4,000

To Laundry supplies $4,000

(Being laundry supplies adjusted)
