(Being the replenishment of the petty cash fund is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On October 15

Travel expense $39  

Delivery Expense $138  

Office expense $214  

Petty cash ($1000 - $400) $600  

Cash over and short ($400 - $39 - $138 - $214 - $16)  $7

             To Cash  $984
