$5000.

Explanation:

Here in the journal, its entries are:

When the purchase order was issued:

Debit (Dr) Credit (Cr)

Encumbrances (estimated)

$5,000

Budgetary control $ 5,000

When the supplies and invoice are received:

Debit (Dr) Credit (Cr)

Budgetary control $ 5,000

Encumbrances $ 5,000

Expenditures (actual) 4,950

Vouchers payable 4,950

When supplies and invoice have been received, Elm should debit the internal account for budgetary control for the same $5,000 estimated amount that the account was credited when the purchase order was issued.
