Answer 1

Answer:

Note: The options attached belongs to another question, so the answer is not included

Premium liability at December 31, 2020 = ((510,000*60%) - $130,000) /  8*3

Premium liability at December 31, 2020 = 176,000 / 24

Premium liability at December 31, 2020 = 7,333.33

Premium liability at December 31, 2021 = 7333.33 + ((600000*60%) - 150000) / 8*3

Premium liability at December 31, 2021 = 7333.33 + 360,000 - 150,000

Premium liability at December 31, 2021 = 217,333.33
