Replenished the petty-cash fund. There was $26.00 cash in the petty-cash box.

 

Use the follwoing vouchers for the month:

  • Withdrew $50.00 for gas for the truck, Voucher #21
  • Withdrew $75.00 to pay for advertising in the newspaper, Voucher #22

Hint: Cash plus the vouchers should equal the amount established in petty cash. If there is less cash, then you must do a Cash Short and Over debit. If there is more cash, then you must do a Cash Short and Over credit.

 

Think through these questions: How much money should be in the petty cash? How much would you have to put in the petty cash to replenish it to the established amount?
