To find out how much in supplies the company used during the quarter, we can use the following formula:
\[ \text{Supplies Used} = \text{Beginning Supplies} + \text{Purchases} - \text{Ending Supplies} \]
In this case:
- Beginning Supplies = $50
- Purchases = $100
- Ending Supplies = $25
Now we can plug in the numbers:
\[ \text{Supplies Used} = 50 + 100 - 25 \]
Calculating it step by step:
- Add the beginning supplies and purchases: \(50 + 100 = 150\)
- Subtract the ending supplies: \(150 - 25 = 125\)
Thus, the company used $125 in supplies during the quarter.
