Answer:
$4,800
Explanation:
Given that,
On January 1, 2016: supplies = $1,000
During 2016: supplies purchased = $5,000
On December 31, 2016: number of supplies on hand = $1,200
Supplies expense:
= Beginning supplies + supplies purchased - Ending supplies
= $1,000 + $5,000 - $1,200
= $4,800
Therefore, the supplies expense for the year 2016 is $4,800.
