Answer:

A. $8,760.

Explanation:

Given: Beginning balance of office supplies= $6380.

           Purchased supplies= $4740

           Ending inventory of office supplies= $2360.

Now, calculating the amount used for the appropriate adjusting entry.

⇒ Amount for adjusting entry= [tex]\$ 6380+\$ 4740- \$ 2360[/tex]

⇒ Amount for adjusting entry= [tex]\$ 11120 - \$ 2360[/tex]

∴ Amount for adjusting entry= [tex]\$ 8760[/tex]

Hence, $8760 is used for the appropriate adjusting entry.
