4. Alpha's AJE for supplies contained a debit for the incorrect amount of $840 to supplies expense instead of the correct amount of $480. The credit side was correct.

5. Alpha's AJE for accrued salaries was incorrectly recorded for $70 instead of the correct amount of $700 (both the debit and credit).
