    d. A credit to Prepaid Insurance for $680.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the prepaid insurance is shown below:

    Given that

    Four month prepaid insurance = $2,720

    For one month, the prepaid insurance is

    = $2,720 : 4 months

    = $680

    Since we have to record the prepaid expenses for 1 month, we divided the total prepaid insurance by the 4 months due to that it decreases by $680 and that's why we credited this account
