Annual Premium = $3,000
Monthly Premium = $3,000/12
Monthly Premium = $250

Premium for 9 months = 9 * $250
Premium for 9 months = $2,250

Insurance Expense = $2,250

Ending Prepaid Insurance = Beginning Prepaid Insurance - Insurance Expense
Ending Prepaid Insurance = $3,000 - $2,250
Ending Prepaid Insurance = $750

So, insurance expense of $2,250 will be reported in income statement and prepaid insurance of $750 will be reported in balance sheet.
