Journalize the entries to record the following:

a. Check No. 12-375 is issued to establish a petty cash fund of $500.

Check No. 12-476 is issued to replenish the fund, based on the following summary of petty cash receipts: office supplies, $212; miscellaneous selling expense, $156; miscellaneous administrative expense, $61. (Because the amount of the check to replenish the fund plus the balance in the fund do not equal $500, record the discrepancy in the cash short and over account.)

1. Journalize the entry to establish the petty cash fund.
2. Journalize the entry to replenish the petty cash fund.
