(To replenish petty cash)



Table(1)

  • All expenses have debit balance. Expenses increase and get debited. So, expense account debited with $420.
  • $75 is in the cash box out of total petty cash fund $500. This implies $425 ($500-$75) should have spent. Since actual expenses are $420 and spent $425, difference of this $5 is debited to the ‘Cash over and short’ account.
  • Cash is an asset account. Cash has gone out of the bank so it is decreased. Hence, cash is credited with $425.

Hence, correct option is e.


  1. A debit to cash for $75 is not appropriate since cash has gone out of the bank and not received so; cash account is credited with $ 425 instead of debiting $75.


  2. Total of cash $425 has gone thus cash account should be credited with $425 instead of $75.


  3. Expenses are debited with $420 due to their payment out of petty cash. Thus credit to petty cash for $420 is inappropriate.


  4. Cash over and short account is debited with $5 instead of credited due to few less payment of expenses with $5.
