The cost of unused supplies remains an asset and is recorded in an Office Supplies account (Current Asset) Adjustment for year end:

a) The unused stationay excluded from stationay expense for the year so as to match correct revenue earned during the period against expense for the year.

b) An asset is created to show stock of stationary in hand at year end(Current Asset).

Journal Entry would be:

(Debit) Stock of Stionary

(Credit) Stationary expense
