According to the question, the company had a balance of $300 in office supplies and purchased $900 more. So, the total amount of supplies purchased during April is $1,200 ($300 + $900). However, at the end of April, only $200 worth of supplies remained. Therefore, the amount of supplies used during April is $1,000 ($1,200 - $200). To adjust the supplies account, we need to reduce the supplies account and recognize the supplies expense for the amount used. Hence, the effect of the April 30 entry to adjust supplies will include a decrease to Supplies and Supplies expense of $1,000.
