    Depreciation on equipment. Which of the following statements is true?

    Question 5
    The balance in the prepaid rent account before adjustment at the end of the year is $12,000, which represents three months' rent paid on November 1. The adjusting entry required on December 31 is:

    I agree with all of your answers from question 1-5 and 7-11

    As for question 6.

    Are Office Supplies not reported as an asset on the Balance Sheet?

    Word problems confuse me at times, so maybe I have misread the question.

    debit Insurance Expense, $11,000; credit Prepaid Insurance, $11,000

    Thank you for your check. I think I agree with you about it being an asset. At first I thought it was meant as an expense and since no expense was presented as a choice I chose Capital, which now I know is not correct at all. Since it is a Balance sheet item, then Asset is the logical choice.

    Thanks,
