Solution

The most likely reason for this credit is that the cash count was higher than the cash receipts by $1. This means that there was an extra dollar in the petty cash fund that was not accounted for in the receipts. This extra dollar is then credited to the 'Miscellaneous Expense/Revenue' account to balance the books.
