    For (a) the amount is given to you.

    For (b) you have to calculate the amount of expired insurance. So take your balance in your prepaid insurance account minus the amount of unexpired insurance applicable to future periods to get your expired insurance amount.

    Your accounts for the adjusting entry are Insurance Expense and Prepaid Insurance.
