Question

Tamarisk Airline needs to send out one of its employees to Nunavut for three weeks to perform some repairs on some aircraft it owns. Some of the payments to be made for the supplies needed on the assignment will be paid from a petty cash fund. Tamarisk issued a cheque in the amount of $800.00 to establish the fund. After a few days at the assignment, the employee returned the following receipts along with a report that the fund had $77.50 left in cash. Tamarisk decided to increase the petty cash fund to $1,000.00.

Receipt		Amount			Description
1		$25.85			Taxi ride from airport to job site
2		43.50			FedEx charges for delivering plane parts
3		35.60			Long distance telephone charges
4		71.35			Supplies
5		335.90			Air freight to ship parts out for overhaul
6		91.60			Supplies
7		45.05			Tarp to protect engine from elements
8		62.00			Grease and oil supplies
