    On your unearned membership fees the adjustment should be 8,400 and the amount in the CR column of your adjusted trial balance should be 5,600. The reason for this is because the member fees account shows 5,600 still remaining to be collected. So you subtract that amount from the 14,000 to get the amount that has been collected. You will then credit the capital account by the 8,400, the amount that has been collected. On the supplies you would take the 2,700 dollars it states that you still have on hand and not used subtract that out of the amount on your adjusted trial balance and you get 2,800 that will be your adjusted amount in your adjustment column. This is showing that you used 2,800 worth of supplies and have 2,700 left. Those are the only two mistakes I can see that you made. Good job!
