Answer:

insurance expense 1,250 debit

prepaid insurance 1,250 credit

Step-by-step explanation:

the insurance contract is for 2 year so, 24 months

3,000 is the value of 24 month of insurance:

3,000 / 24 = 125 per month

From March 1st, 2018 to December 31th,2018 --> 10 months

125 x 10 = 1,250

This is the case of an accrued expense.

Our prepaid insurance will decrease by this amount and we will recognize the 1,250 insurance expense.
