Sesanian asked:


My accounting teach expresses that I did an entry wrong on a general ledger because I listed a calculator as an office supply and not an equipment. Is this correct? Please give sources.

At the end of the accounting period, the business had $4,500 of office supplies on hand?

At the end of the accounting period, the business had $4,500 of office supplies on hand. At the beginning of the period, the amount of supplies on hand was $3,000. If the business purchased $12,000 of office supplies during the year, what amount of office supplies were used during the year?

The answer is $10,500, but how did they get this?
