1. The unadjusted balance in Office Supplies was $1,150 at December 31, 2017. The unadjusted balance in Supplies Expense was $0 at December 31, 2017. A year-end count showed $160 of supplies on hand.

It was credited in full to Deferred Rent Revenue when collected. The unadjusted balance in Rent Revenue was $0 at December 31, 2017.
