Explanation:

Retained Earning is an equity account and its balance is credit in nature. It is the accumulated balance of all the prior year's income / losses after paying all the dividend. This balance can be used for the dividend payment or reinvestment in the business.

Any prior years adjustment in the revenue and expense will be recorded in the retained earning because it carry the accumulated profit all the prior years.

The premium on insurance for only one year should be recorded, but premium of 3 years is expense in 2020, from which there is an advance premium of 2 years.

Adjustment Value = $30,000 x 2/3 x (1-0.25) = $15,000

The adjustment should be added in the retained earning balance as it was expensed earlier.

Adjusted retained earning balance = $200,000 + $15,000 = $215,000
