Answer 1

Answer: when the petty cash fund is replenished.

Explanation: it is convenient for every business to have small amounts of cash available for payment of items—expenses that are too small to merit a check. As a result businesses establish a petty cash fund to permit these cash disbursements. An advantage of the petty cash fund is that at the time of payments, no journal entry is required which avoids the need for making many entries for small amounts. As such, expenses are recognized only when the fund is reimbursed or replenished (usually at the end of the accounting period) when the business makes an entry in the journal.
