Two Company purchased a one-year insurance policy on July 1, 2018 for $2,400. The company debited the entire amount to insurance expense. The adjusting entry on December 31, 2018 would include
A credit to prepaid insurance for $2,400 |
A debit to insurance expense for $1,200 |
No entry |
A credit to insurance expense for $1,200 |
Answer is.....a credit to insurance expense for $1,200
This is because the company had debited $2,400 to interest expense but actual expenses of that year is of 6 months from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
So the adjusting entry will be a debit to prepaid insurance for 1,200 and credit to insurance expense for 1,200.
(2,400 x 6/12 = 1,200)
