    Assuming you used the expense method of accounting the entry would be:

    dr. prepaid insurance 2700
    Cr. Insurance expense 2700

    But if you used the accrual no need to adjust the unexpired but the adjustment would pertain to the expired portion

    Origanl entry:

    dr. prepaid insurance
    Cr. Cash

    Adj entry

    dr. insurance exp
    Cr. Prepaid isnurance

    This would give you the insurance expensed out for the year, and the unexpired part of your insurance.
