Question

Journalize the entries to record the following.
On March 1, Check No. 2-45-13 is issued to establish a petty cash fund of $1, 100.
On April 1, the amount of cash in the petty cash fund is now $115. Check No. 271-13 is issued to replenish the fund, based on the following summary of petty cash receipts: office supplies, $614; miscellaneous selling expense, $200; miscellaneous administrative expense, $145. (Because the amount of the check to replenish the fund plus the balance in the fund do not equal $1, 100, record the discrepancy in the cash short and over account.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Petty cash A/c $1,100

       To Cash A/c $1, 100

(Being the petty cash fund is established)

2. Office supplies A/c Dr $614

   Miscellaneous selling expense A/c Dr $200

   Miscellaneous administrative expense A/c Dr $145

   Cash short and over A/c $26

             To Petty cash A/c $985

(Being the expenses are recorded)

The Cash short and over is computed below:

= $1,100 - $115- $614 - $200 - $145

= $26
