debit Supplies Expense; credit Supplies
When used supplies are accounted for, the Supplies Expense account is debited to reflect the consumption of supplies. Simultaneously, the Supplies Inventory account is credited to reduce the asset value of supplies on hand. This transaction reflects the expense incurred for the supplies that have been utilized during the accounting period.
In an adjusted trial balance, supplies on hand are typically recorded in the asset section. Specifically, you would list "Supplies" under current assets, reflecting the value of supplies remaining at the end of the accounting period. This amount is adjusted to account for any supplies that have been used during the period. Make sure to reflect the correct adjusted amount based on the supplies inventory at the end of the period.
No, supplies and supplies expense are not the same thing. "Supplies" refers to the physical items or materials that a business uses in its operations, while "supplies expense" represents the cost associated with those supplies that have been consumed during a specific accounting period. When supplies are purchased, they are typically recorded as an asset, and when they are used, their cost is transferred to supplies expense on the income statement.
In double-entry bookkeeping, a period loss is recorded by debiting the income summary account and crediting the retained earnings account. This reflects the decrease in equity due to the loss incurred during the accounting period. The income summary accumulates all revenues and expenses, and closing it to retained earnings adjusts the equity accordingly. Thus, the double-entry ensures that the accounting equation remains balanced.

An accounting period refers to the interval between two points in time during which the financial activity of a business is measured.
Among the accounts listed, "supplies" and "income" are considered permanent accounts, as they carry over their balances from one accounting period to the next. In contrast, "supplies expense," "fees," and "owner's drawing" are temporary accounts that are closed at the end of each accounting period. Temporary accounts are used to track financial activity for a specific period and reset to zero at the start of the next period.

Supplies are typically recorded as assets on the balance sheet when purchased. However, as they are used during a specific accounting period, their cost is expensed on the income statement under "supplies expense" or a similar category. This reflects the consumption of supplies as part of the company's operating activities. Thus, while supplies themselves don't appear directly on the income statement, their expense does.
Adjusting Entries are journal entries that are made at the end of the accounting period, to adjust expenses and revenues to the accounting period where they actually occurred. Generally speaking, they are adjustments based on reality, not on a source document. This is in sharp contrast to entries during the accounting period (such as utility bills or fees for services rendered) that depend on source documents.
Accounting dates back at least to the Babylonian Empire, around 4,500 BC. Double entry accounting was first utilized in Venice during the period of the Italian Renaissance.
