So what is your question. You need to prepare a classified Balance Sheet. If you do not know what a classified balance sheet looks like there should will be one in your accounting textbook. You just need to follow the format of a classified Balance Sheet in your textbook.

My question is what is the Owners' equity on 12/31/09?

Supplies is not a liability. It is a current asset.
