The adjusting entries are shown below:

1. Insurance expense A/c Dr $1,200

To Prepaid insurance A/c $1,200

(Being prepaid insurance is adjusted)

2. Supplies expense A/c Dr $6,200

To supplies A/c $6,200

(Being supplies adjusted)

The supplies at the end of the year is computed below:

= Supplies account balance + purchase of supplies - available supplies

= $5,000 + $2,000 - $800

= $6,200
