zlopas [31]

Answer: Please see below

Account Particulars                 Debit           Credit

Petty Cash                               $750

Cash                                                                $750

Misc Selling Expense               $212  

Miscellaneous administrative expense, $96.                  

Cash Short and Over                 $18

Cash                                                                       $574

To calculate Cash Short and Over=  $750-(248+212+ 96)= 750 -556= $194

but the money in the pettycash fund On April 1 is $212.

therefore Cash short and over = $212-$194 = $18
