O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/11/M/J/22

Explanation
Imprest System Reimbursement Steps:
- Petty cash starts at fixed imprest amount; expenses reduce it via vouchers.
- At month-end, total vouchers represent exact expenditures.
- Reimbursement equals total vouchers to restore original imprest.
- New balance equals imprest after adding reimbursement.
Why D is correct:
- In the imprest system, the restored amount is precisely the total vouchers received, matching expenditures to maintain the fixed fund per accounting standards.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Remaining cash is the balance, not the restoration amount.
- B: Sum of remainder plus vouchers equals full imprest, but only vouchers are restored.
- C: Imprest minus vouchers is the depleted balance, not what is added back.
Final answer: D
