Explanation:

First of all, the amount to be shown as balance in supplies account as at 31st December  is the closing inventory of supplies given as $1400.00 in the question.

However, the amount of supplies expense in the year is computed thus

Opening balance of supplies                     $1200

add supplies bought                                    $3400

less closing supplies                                   ($1400)

Supplies expenses                                       $3200

The accounts payable balance on supplies would be $400($3400-$30000, that is the amount of supplies purchased less cash paid
