  2. Expenses: Each expense is recorded as a debit entry under the respective account (e.g., Stationery A/c, Postage Stamps A/c, etc.) with the corresponding amount.
  3. Reimbursement: The reimbursement to the head cashier is recorded as a credit entry under "By Cash" and a debit entry under "To Head Cashier A/c."
  4. Closing Balance: The petty cash book is balanced by bringing down the opening balance as "By Balance b/d" and ensuring the total debits and credits match.
