Petty Cash Fund Entries
Journalize the entries to record the following:
Check No. 12-375 is issued to establish a petty cash fund of $800. The amount of cash in the petty cash fund is now $272. Check No. 12-476 is issued to replenish the fund, based on the following summary of petty cash receipts: office supplies, $306; miscellaneous selling expense, $127; miscellaneous administrative expense, $79. (Because the amount of the check to replenish the fund plus the balance in the fund do not equal $500, record the discrepancy in the cash short and over account).
