Solution

The correct answer is: the company should replenish the fund in order to record the costs incurred in the petty cash fund in the accounts.

Here's why: The purpose of a petty cash fund is to cover small, incidental expenses that occur in the course of business. When the fund gets low, it is replenished to the set amount (in this case, 200).Theamountofthereplenishmentshouldequaltheamountofexpensesthathavebeenpaidoutofthefund.Thisallowsthecompanytorecordtheseexpensesintheiraccountingsystem.So,inthiscase,thecompanywouldreplenishthefundby200). The amount of the replenishment should equal the amount of expenses that have been paid out of the fund. This allows the company to record these expenses in their accounting system. So, in this case, the company would replenish the fund by 57 (200200 - 143), and record $57 of expenses.
