On October 15

Travel expense $39

Delivery Expense $138

Office expense $214

Petty cash ($1000 - $400) $600

Cash over and short ($400 - $39 - $138 - $214 - $16) $7

To Cash $984

(Being the replenishment of the petty cash fund is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On October 15

Travel expense $39

Delivery Expense $138

Office expense $214

Petty cash ($1000 - $400) $600

Cash over and short ($400 - $39 - $138 - $214 - $16) $7

To Cash $984

(Being the replenishment of the petty cash fund is recorded)

For recording this journal entry we debited the all expenses incurred plus the petty cash is also debited and cash is credited and the remaining balance is transferred to the cash over and short
