Note: See the attached xlsx file for the effect of each transaction on the individual accounts of the expanded accounting equation and the report of the total of each element.

In the attached xlsx file, transaction (c) is treated in such a way that the insurance for the month of October 20—is accounted for under the following:

Prepaid Insurance = One-year insurance premium - (One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year) = $1,000 - ($1,000 / 12) = $1,000 - $83 = $917

Expenses = One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year = $1,000 / 12 = $83
