    One typically does not record depreciation on supplies.

    The biggest reason is that it usually is not material.

    Also supplies usually don't last for a long time.

    Oh, well that could be qualified as Equipment then. Since when does a printer and scanner only last for 2 years?

    In that case, assuming 14,000 is material to your company, I would depreciate it.

    When you but the Equipment for 14,000 the JE would be:
    Dr. Equipment 14,000
    Cr. Cash 14,000

    After year 1 and after year 2, the JE is the same:
    Dr. Depreciation Expense 7,000
    Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 7,000

    THANK YOU!!

    OK I have another question. How do you write the adjusted journal entry for
    DR:cash 80000
    CR:capital 80000

    And also
    DR:cash 6000
    CR:revenue 6000

    Those 2 JE do not require any adjusting entries. The second one, the part dealing with Sales, that account has to be closed to Retained Earnings at the end of the year.

    OK I'm sooo sorry but I have another question

    It says purchased 1,200 worth of supplies for cash

    So DR: supplies and CR: cash

    Then for my adjusting entry I DR:supplies and CR: supplies expense

    You have the first JE correct.

    The second one, you need to reverse it. Debit Supplies Expense and Credit Supplies.

    Ok, so when you send the bill to the customer:
    Dr. AR 15,000
    Cr. Sales 15,000

    When you received the cash…
    Dr. Cash 8,000
    Cr. AR 8,000

    No.

    The "adjustment" would be you get cash, and you draw down the AR you set up with the sale.
