Question:

Sept. 4 Paid \(\$ 17.25\) COD delivery charges on merchandise purchased for resale.
5 Jack Tate noted that there was only \(\$ 5.25\) cash remaining in the fund. Thus, he sorted the paid petty cash receipts by accounts affected and exchanged them for a check to reimburse the fund.

29 Paid \(\$ 8.75\) COD delivery charges on merchandise purchased for resale.
