ON APRIL 1, THERE WAS $5,000 OF PREPAID INSURANCE
DURING THE YEAR, A TOTAL OF $12,000 WAS PAID OUT IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
ON MAY 31, THE PREPAID INSURANCE WAS $6,000
Actual expense insurance during the year is equal to
Prepaid insurance+insurance paid - prepaid insurance of the next year.
Hence insurance expense=5000+12000-6000=11000
Insurance claim does not affect the insurance expense.
It is to be credited separately and not be set-off in the expense.
