    d. Cash, $99.

    Explanation:

    As we know that the cash total in petty cash account was $250, out of which in hand balance = $151

    Now, that means the company has spent $250 - $151 = $99 as expenses involving petty cash.

    This means that the company shall provide for such amount. Even though they have balance of expense to made = $94

    But since this is minor amount and that the money is not in hand it shall be provided for, and it shall be reduced by the same amount, including unidentifiable money expense out.
