Answer 1

There is a difference in figures in the question, i guess some kind of mistake, so net income is not tallyig with Check figure.

Transactions

12/2      The company purchased a 12-month insurance policy for $5,200 cash

Adjusting information

b. One month’s insurance expired on the 12-month insurance policy purchased on December 1^st for $4,800

As you can see, insurance is given as $5,200 in one and $4,800 in another

If we take $4,800, Net Income Check figure matches but i have gone with $5,200 !
