Roy · Answer 1

D. $337.50.

Explanation:

The computation of the insurance expense for the year ended would be shown below:

= Premium amount - nine-month premium

where,

Premium amount is $1,350

And, the nine-month premium would be

= Premium amount * number of months : (total number of months in a year)

= $1,350 * (9 months : 12 months)

= $1,012.50

The nine-month is calculated from the April 1 to December 31

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $1,350 - $1,012.50

= $337.50
