Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On July 1

Prepaid insurance A/c Dr $9,400

    To Cash A/c $9,400

(Being the prepaid insurance for cash is recorded)

On December 31

Insurance expense A/c Dr $2,350

         To Prepaid insurance A/c $2,350

(Being the insurance expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Prepaid insurance amount ÷ number of years × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year

= $9,400 ÷ 2 years × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $2,350
