I agree with all of your answers from question 1-5 and 7-11

As for question 6.

Are Office Supplies not reported as an asset on the Balance Sheet?

Word problems confuse me at times, so maybe I have misread the question.

Thank you for your check. I think I agree with you about it being an asset. At first I thought it was meant as an expense and since no expense was presented as a choice I chose Capital, which now I know is not correct at all. Since it is a Balance sheet item, then Asset is the logical choice.

Thanks,
