5. Some supplies may have been used during October but no supplies expense
has been recorded.
As will be discussed in Chapter 3, adjustments are necessary at the end of the
accounting period to bring the accounts up to date. For example, adjustments for
supplies used, insurance expired, and depreciation would probably be required
by Pioneer Designs.
