Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

At the end of year one, the balance for office supplies on hand was $9,000. During year two, the organization recorded an expense of $45,000 for purchasing additional supplies. By the end of year two, a physical count determined that $11,500 worth of supplies remained. The change in inventory would result from the difference between initial and final supplies. Thus, $11,500 - $9,000 = $2,500 should be adjusted. Therefore, the correct adjusting entry at the end of year two is a debit to office supplies on hand for $2,500.
