Answer:
Given that,
Actual cash received from cash sales = $18,371
Amount indicated by the cash register = $18,400
Cash short:
= Amount indicated by the cash register - Actual cash received from cash sales
= $18,400 - $18,371
= $29
Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $18,371
Cash over and short A/c Dr. $29
To sales $18,400
(To record the cash receipts and cash sales)
