    On March 31 you prepaid for 1 year.

    Therefore, on December 31, 9 months have passed, so 9 months out of 12 months have been used up of the insurance.

    Therefore... insurance expense is 9/12 of 2,400 which is 1,800

    The JE at Dec 31 would be.
    Dr. Insurance Expense 1,800
    Cr. Prepaid Insurance 1,800
