Expert Solution

Petty cash beginning balance = $600

Total cash expenses = Travel expense + Office supplies expense + Equipment rental expense

= 101 + 285 + 79

= $465

Remaining cash = $18

Cash Short & Over = Petty cash beginning balance - Total cash expenses - Remaining cash

= 600 - 465 - 18

= $117

Hence, there is cash shortage of $117.

Journal entry to replenish the Petty Cash fund will include a debit to Cash Short & Over $117

Correct option is (b)
