    b. debit Insurance Expense, $11,000; credit Prepaid Insurance, $11,000

    Explanation:

    For amount paid in advance for insurance, the expense is recorded when incurred by debiting the expense account and crediting prepaid insurance account to reduce the amount prepaid.

    When the amount was prepaid, the entries would have been debit prepaid insurance and credit cash account.

    Expired insurance (expense) = $14,000 - $3,000 = $11,000

    Entries required to adjust for this

    Debit Insurance Expense, $11,000;

    Credit Prepaid Insurance, $11,000
