    For the purchase of the policy the journal entry will be:
    Debit Prepaid Insurance for 18,000
    Credit Cash for 18,000

    For the adjusting entry you need to calculate the monthly rate first, by taking $18,000 divided by 36 months, then calculate the number of months used, which is 6 months times the monthly rate to get the amount of interest used.
    Your journal entry will be:
    Debit Interest Expense for the amount calculated above
    Credit Prepaid Insurance for the amount calculated above
