    stockholer's equity will be overstated by $800.

    Explanation:

    The adjustment required is to record $800 of supplies used as an expense, hence, by carrying out the adjustment, net income is overstated by $800 so also retained earnings and shareholders' equity.

    In other words, the balance that would be left in supplies is opening balance of $200 plus purchase of supplies which is $950 minus the supplies used.

    balance of supplies=$200+$950-$800=$350

    Option B is wrong the balance expected is $350 and the balance without adjustment is $200, that is $150 understatement not $350
