Bert's Bungie Jumping, Inc. paid $650,000 cash for casualty insurance during the year 2015. If the income statement for the year reports insurance expense of $620,000, then
Bert's prepaid insurance decreased $30,000
Bert's cash account balance decreased $30,000
Bert's prepaid insurance increased $30,000
Bert's prepaid insurance was $30,000 at year-end
Since $650,000 cash has been paid for the year 2015 but the insurance expense for the period is only $620,000.
Hence the balance ($650,000-$620,000)=$30,000 would be the prepaid insurance for the period which would be shown in the 'asset' section under the balance sheet.
Hence the prepaid insurance increased by $30000 .
Hence the correct option is C.
