    Answer: Debit Petty cash $408; Credit Cash $408.

    Explanation: Petty cash is a small amount of fund set aside for immediate or urgent minor expenses. In most organizations, there is a limit to the petty cash amount that a business unit can have. And someone is always saddled with the responsibility of managing the fund. It has its business rule in the sense that the amount should not be withdrawn beyond zero balance to throw it into debit.

    In the instance of the question, the petty cash is $460 and within September, total expenses of $316 were incurred and paid for, leaving a balance of $144. However, the accountant determines that this cash should be increased by $92 on 1 October, so reimbursement to the fund would be the amount already spent ($316) and the proposed increment ($92), making $408.
