The option B is correct. The cash account should be credited with $96 as the cash is transferred to the petty cash department.

Further explanation:

Petty cash fund:

It refers to the fund established for paying the small amount of expenditures which are incurred on a daily basis. The petty cash fund is suitable for small payments where the check is not useful.

Replenishing petty cash:  

Petty cash department has to maintain the minimum balance in order to meet the minor expenses of the business. When the balance of the petty cash book goes below the minimum balance; the custodian of the petty cash department requests funds from the management of the company to maintain the minimum balance.

In the current case, the minimum balance of petty cash book is $150, and petty cash department has $54. So, it requires only $96.  

Compute the amount replenished:

Amount replenished = Minimum Fund – (Cash available + receipts)

                                = $150 – ($54 + $83)

                               = $13

Thus, the cash account should be debited to cash short and over for $13
