    The journal entry is shown below:

    On October 15

    Office expense $214

    Petty cash ($1000 - $400) $600

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

    To Cash $984

    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
