Expert Solution

Insurance is paid for 2 years i.e. 24 Months which is $,1000 per month ($ 24,000 / 24 Months).

The entry to record insurance expired during May (for one month) would be debit to Insurance expense and credit to Prepaid insurance.

Insurance expense.. $ 1,000

Prepaid insurance................$ 1,0000

Hence, option second is correct.

Option one and fourth are wrong as there can not be a debit to prepaid insurance. To record insurance expired debit should be to insurance expense.

Option third is also wrong as the credit can not be to cash as the insurance policy has already been paid. The credit has to be Prepaid insurance as it was debited at the time payment of insurance policy.
