1. [Para. 4-a-13] Adjusting Entry. Because the city uses a periodic inventory system a physical count of consumable supplies was taken at year-end showing an ending balance of $60,420, a increase of $1,420 during the year. The city uses the consumption method of accounting for its inventory in the General Fund and at the government-wide level.

Therefore, an increase in inventory requires adjustments to the expenditure and expense accounts of the General Government function.
