Problem: Kali Corp. established a petty cash fund early in 2020 to increase the efficiency of accounting for small cash transactions and to improve control over many of the small expenditures it makes. The company decided to set up the imprest fund at $500 and a cheque was issued for this amount and given to the petty cash custodian.

During January, the petty cash custodian made the following disbursements and placed a receipt for each in the cash box provided.
