Answer: 18,000
Explanation:
Liability policy:
= 2,000
Insurance expense 2018:
= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month
= 12 × 2,000
= 24,000
Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018:
= Prepaid Insurance for liability policy - Insurance expense 2018
= 36,000 - 24,000
= 12,000
Crop damage policy:
= 500
Insurance expense 2018:
= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month
= 12 × 500
= 6,000
Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018:
= Prepaid Insurance for crop damage policy - Insurance expense 2018
= 12,000 - 6,000
= 6,000
Therefore,
Total prepaid insurance balance on 31 Dec 2018:
= Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018 + Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018
= 12,000 + 6,000
= 18,000
