Answer:
D) Prepaid insurance 3,325
Insurance expense 3,325
Explanation:
insurance cost per month = $4,200 / 24 months = $175 per month
August, September, October, November and December = 5 months = $875
$4,200 - $875 = $3,325
The correct journal entries should have been:
August 1, 2003, purchased 2 year insurance policy
Dr Prepaid insurance 4,200
Cr Cash 4,200
December 31, 2003, accrued insurance expense
Dr Insurance expense 875
Cr Prepaid insurance 875
But, since the purchase was incorrectly journalized as:
Dr Insurance expense 4,200
Cr Cash 4,200
the adjusting entry must be:
Dr Prepaid insurance 3,325
Cr insurance expense 3,325
