The adjusting entry is shown below:

Supplies expense A/c Dr $1,000

To Supplies A/c $1,000

(Being supplies are adjusted)

Since in the question, it is given that the supplies were purchased at $4,000 and in hand it was $3,000 so, the remaining balance i. e $1,000 ($4,000 - $3,000) would be adjusted to the supplies expense account.
