    Ajustment to preaid insurance
    I left out a part of my previous question that has left me confused.
    If my Prepaid Insurance Bal. on Jan 1 is $ 400 and on Mar 31 each year I prepay $3600. At Dec 31 $600 is still prepaid. How would I go about making an accounting adjustment.

    Your adjusting entry will be for how much insurance that was used during the period.

    To calculate this figure take your beginning balance + your purchases - your ending inventory = amount of Prepaid insurance used during the period.

    The entry to record the Prepaid insurance used is:
    Debit Insurance Expense for the amount used
    Credit PrePaid Insurance for the amount used
