Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Imprest Amount: N1380
Total Expenses:
Stationery: N350
Cleaning material: N335
General expenses: N265
Total Expenses Calculation: 350 + 335 + 265 = 950

The imprest system means that at the end of the period, the petty cash should be restored to the original amount (N1380)

Amount to be received = Imprest − Total Expenses = 1380 − 950 = 430

So, N950 is the amount that needs to be received to bring the petty cash back to N1380.
