    Answer and Explanation:

    The journal entries are shown below:

    On Apr 2

    Petty cash $290

    To Cash $290

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

    For recording this we debited petty cash as it increased the cash and credited the cash as it reduced the assets

    On Apr 10

    Mail & Postage $62

    Contributions and Donations $33

    Meals & entertainment $114

    Cash Short and Over $4 ($290 - $62 - $33 - $114 - $77)

    To Cash $213

    (Being the replenishment of the fund is recorded)

    For recording this, we debited the mail & postage, contributions & donations, meals & entertainment as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it reduced the assets and the balancing figure is debited to cash short and over

    On Apr 11

    Petty Cash $140 ($430 - $290)

    To Cash $75

    For recording this we debited petty cash as it increased the cash and credited the cash as it reduced the assets
