Correct Answer:

Option B – N875

Explanation

An imprest system is a form of a financial accounting system. The most common imprest system is the petty cash system. The base characteristic of an imprest system is that a fixed amount is reserved, which after a certain period of time or when circumstances require, because money was spent, it will be replenished.

450 + 250 +175 = 875
the imprest will be reimbursed with the amount that was spent which is 875
