    Correct answer is letter B, $2,200

    Explanation:

    Using accrual basis method, revenue and expenses will be recognized when incurred.

    The $4,800 is a 24 months policy, therefore we must compute the insurance expense applicable for the year covering from February 1 to December 31 (11 months)

    An adjusting entry to recognize the expire portion of the insurance must be done at the year end in the amount of $2,200.

    ($4,800 / 24 months = $200 x 11 months = $2,200)
