Dr supplies expense $4,100

Cr supplies $4,100

Explanation:

Supplies used in the year needs to be ascertained before any adjusting entry can be posted.

Supplies used=beginning supplies+purchases-ending supplies

beginning supplies is $3,690

purchases of supplies was $1,700

ending balance of supplies was $1,290

supplies used=$3,690+$1,700-$1,290=$ 4,100.00

The used portion of supplies would be debited to supplies expense while supplies inventory is credited with the same amount.
