    Explanation:

    To record the adjusted journal entries, we have to determine the supplies purchases during the year. In that case, 2018 balance was $63,000. 2019 supplies inventory balance was $71,000. Therefore, the company purchased = $ (71,000 - 63,000) = $8,000 supplies during the year. The journal entry is as follows:

    Debit Supplies $8,000

    Credit Accounts payable/Cash $8,000

    Note: Assume that the company purchased the supplies either cash or on account.
