Assume that the custodian of a $540 petty cash fund has $92.50 in coins and currency plus $436.50 in receipts at the end of the month. The entry to replenish the petty cash fund will include:
Multiple Choice
A debit to Cash for $426.
A debit to Cash Over and Short for $11.00.
A debit to Petty Cash for $436.50.
A credit to Cash for $436.50.
A credit to Cash Over and Short for $448.
Cash shortage = $540 - 92.50 - 436.50 = $11.00
Reimbursement and credit to cash = $436.5 + 11.00 = $447.5
Account Titles | Debit | Credit |
Expenses | $436.50 | |
Cash Over and Short | $11 | |
Cash | $447.5 |
A debit to Cash Over and Short for $11.00 is correct answer.
