Expert Solution
The 2 months expired insurance should be charged to insurance expense and prepaid insurance should be credited as part of adjusting entry on March 31st for the interim financial statements to be properly stated. The amount will be $3,600/12*2 months = $600 should be debited to insurance expense. As per accrual concept the expenses should be accounted for the period for which it is incurred. Hence February and March month insurance expense will be debited.
Adusting entry:
General Journal Debit Credit
Insurance expense $600
Prepaid Insurance $600
