Ronan Barnes · Answer 1

July 1, 2022, two year insurance policy paid in advance:

Dr Prepaid insurance 18,500

Cr Cash 18,500

December 31, 2022, accrued insurance expense:

Dr Insurance expense 4,625

Cr Prepaid insurance 4,625

By December 31, 2022, 6 months had passed since the policy was purchased, so you must accrue 6 months worth of insurance expense = ($18,500 / 24 years) x 6 months = $4,625
