To address the questions, we need to journalize the transactions related to the petty cash fund for Grunge Sales on the specified dates.

April 10: Replenishment of Petty Cash Fund

  1. Calculate the total expenses:

    • Miscellaneous office expenses: $117
    • Postage: $93
    • Entertainment: $94
    • Total expenses = $117 + $93 + $94 = $304
  2. Calculate the amount needed to replenish the petty cash fund:

    • Petty cash on hand: $194
    • Total expenses: $304
    • Amount needed to replenish = Total expenses - Petty cash on hand = $304 - $194 = $110
  3. Journal Entry for Replenishment:

    • Debit Miscellaneous Office Expenses: $117
    • Debit Postage: $93
    • Debit Entertainment: $94
    • Credit Cash: $110

April 11: Increase Petty Cash Fund

  1. Determine the increase in the petty cash fund:

    • Current petty cash fund: $194 (from April 10)
    • New petty cash fund: $480
    • Increase in petty cash fund = New fund - Current fund = $480 - $194 = $286
  2. Journal Entry for Increasing Petty Cash:

    • Debit Petty Cash: $286
    • Credit Cash: $286

Summary:

  • On April 10, the petty cash fund is replenished by recording the expenses and crediting cash for the amount needed to bring the fund back to its original level.
  • On April 11, the petty cash fund is increased by debiting the petty cash account and crediting cash for the amount of the increase.
