Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

To increase asset and expense, you debit while credit decreases it.

To increase, liabity, revenue(income), equity, you credit while debit decreases it.

An insurance that has been prepaid is an asset because the benefit has not been fully utilised.

Samson and Sons has paid for an insurance that will expire December at the beginning of July.

$1,200 for 6 months.

Samson and Sons needs to recognize this as the service is being enjoyed monthly.

Therefore, insurance expense every month will increase by $1,200/6

$200

Remember that expense increase by debit and asset(Prepaid Insurance) decrease by credit.

So we have:

Debit insurance expense $200; Credit prepaid insurance $200

       expenses 4.50%                             discount amount

February,1                                                    $735,474

July,31 $33,096   -   $32,400                    $696            $736,170

Jan.31      $33,128   -   $32,400                    $728            $736,898

Interest expenses in January,31 = $736,170 × 4.5÷100

= 33,127.65 or $33,128

Carrying Value = Previous Carrying Value + Amortized Discount Amount

July,31

= $735,474 + $696

= $736,170

Jan,31 =  $736,170 + $728 = $736,898
