This results in a $40 adjusting entry credit to be entered against the Accounts Payable account.Since Equipment was debited incorrectly instead of Supplies, an adjusting entry credit of the same amount, $400, needs to be recorded.A correct entry to Supplies needs to be recorded as well for the full purchase price of $440.
