    d.$8,327

    Explanation:

    The computation of the amount used in the adjusting entry is shown below:

    = Beginning balance of office supplies + supplies purchased - ending balance of office supplies

    = $7,362 + $3,421 - $2,456

    = $8,327

    The adjusting entry is

    Supplies expense $8,327

    To Supplies A/c $8,327

    (Being the supplies expense is recorded)

    For recording this transaction we debited the supplies expense as it increased the expense account and credited the supplies account as it reduced the asset account
