Capital Irrigation has only a General Journal in its accounting system and uses it to record all transactions. However, the company recently set up a petty cash fund to facilitate payments of small items. The following petty cash transactions were noted by the petty cashier as occurring during April 2014:
Apr. 1 Received a company cheque for $300 to establish the petty cash fund.

b. Purchased office supplies for $78.15.
c. Purchased postage stamps for $25.00.
d. Paid $92.50 to The County Crier for an advertisement in the newspaper.
e. Discovered that $24.35 remained in the petty cash box.
30 The petty cashier noted that $244.95 remained in the fund and decided that the April 15 increase in the fund was too large. Therefore, a company cheque was issued to replenish the fund for the following expenditures made since April 15 and to reduce the fund to $350.
f. Purchased office supplies for $94.65.
g. Reimbursed office manager for business auto, $45.60.
