Answer 1

Answer:

c.Insurance expense would be debited for $300.

Explanation:

Provided that

12 month insurance policy purchased on Dec 1 = $3,600

So, the adjusting entry on Dec 31 would be

Insurance expense A/c Dr $300

          To Prepaid Insurance $300

(Being insurance expense is recorded)

The computation is

= $3,600 ÷ 12 months

= 300

As we have to compute for 1 month so we recorded $300 insurance expense
