Respuesta :

Answer:

prepaid insurance =  $2185

Explanation:

given data

premium to Insurance = $2,760

time period = 2 year

solution

first we get here insurance expense per year that is

insurance expense = [tex]\frac{premium}{time}[/tex]

insurance expense = [tex]\frac{2760}{2}[/tex]

insurance expense = $1380

and here insurance expenses for the year 2018 is

insurance expenses 2018 = [tex]\frac{expense\ per\ year}{12\ months}[/tex] × 2018 period

insurance expenses 2018 = [tex]\frac{1380}{12}[/tex] × 5

insurance expenses 2018 = $575

so

prepaid insurance is as

prepaid insurance = premium for insurance - insurance expense 2018

prepaid insurance =  2760 - 575

prepaid insurance =  $2185

as adjusting entries are

date                             account title                             debit             credit

December 31, 2018   prepaid insurance                   $2185

                                    insurance expense                                        $2185
