    Adjusting Balances
    How do I adjust a trial balance for unexpired insurance? What accounts would be affected and how do I get the appropriate amount for the debit and credit to those accounts?

    On Jan 1, you buy a 13 month policy for $1,300.

    Dr. Prepaid Insurance 1,300
    Cr. Cash 1,300

    On Dec, 31, you need to recognize 12 of those 13 months are used up.

    Dr. Insurance Expense 1,200
    Cr. Prepaid Insurance 1,200
