    Journal entry
    I'm having a hard time solving this problem. I think I should divide 18,000 by 12 or 36

    BE3-6

    On July 1, 2010, Spahn Co. pays $18,000 to Randle Insurance Co. for a 3-year insurance contract. Both companies have fiscal years ending December 31. Prepare the journal entry on July 1 and the adjusting entry on December 31 for Randle Insurance Co.

    Date Account/Description Debit Credit
    July 1




    Dec. 31





    Using T accounts, enter the balances in the accounts below, post the adjusting entry as necessary, and indicate the adjusted balance in each account. (If there is no transaction, enter NA as the date and 0 for the amount. Do not leave any fields blank.)
