The Journal entries are as follows:

September 1:

Petty cash A/c Dr. $250

To cash $250

(To establish a petty cash fund)

September 30:

Cash over and short A/c Dr. - $2

Freight in A/c Dr. $25

Supplies expense A/c Dr. $75

Entertainment Expense A/c Dr. $37

Postage expense A/c Dr. $80

To Cash ($250 - $35) $215

(to record expenses for September and replenish the petty cash fund)

Workings:

Cash short = 215 - (25 + 75 + 37 + 80)

= - 2
