Before passing the journal entry, first we have to compute the adjusted balance of the inventory which is shown below:

= Opening balance of inventory + purchase of inventory - the closing balance of inventory

= $2,000 + $12,000 - $1,500

= $12,500

Now the journal entry would be:

Supplies expense A/c Dr $12,500

To Supplies A/c $12,500

(Being supplies account is adjusted)
