a) Expenditures $450,000; Supplies inventory $150,000

Explanation:

At fiscal year-end, the appropriate account balances on the general fund financial statements would be:

Supplies for use by activities accounted for in the general fund $450,000

Less supplies used during the year $300,000

Balance = $150,000

Hence;

Expenditures $450,000; Supplies inventory $150,000
