To determine the correct balance of the petty cash fund as of December 31, 2023, and the amount of

Step 3: Calculate the adjusted balance of the petty cash fund as of January 3, 2024:
Adjusted balance = Total Petty Cash (as of Dec 31, 2023) - Total outstanding vouchers
So, the correct balance of the petty cash fund as of December 31, 2023, is P28,985.
Step 4: Calculate the amount of shortage in the petty cash fund as of January 3, 2024:
Shortage = Adjusted Balance - (Company check representing replenishment of petty cash fund + Unused
postage stamps + Currency in the envelope)
Shortage = P23,565 - (P6,750 + P560 + P4,200) = P12,055
So, the amount of shortage in the petty cash fund as of the date of the count (January 3, 2024) is
P12,055.
