    a. $200 decrease in net income.

    Explanation:

    When insurance is paid in advance, the entries required are;

    Debit Prepaid Insurance

    Credit Cash account

    As time elapses and the insurance expires,

    Debit Insurance expense

    Credit Prepaid Insurance

    Given that the Adjustments columns show expired insurance of $200, this will be recorded as an expense and will thus decrease the net income.
