Re: Petty Cash
Jim, I’ll need $5 for postage stamps. By the way, I noticed that our petty cash account seems to be too low. Increase its size to $100 please.
Help Jim replenish petty cash on December 3 by providing him with a general journal entry. Support your answer and indicate whether Karen was correct.
