Question

On October 1, 2020, Adams Company paid $4,800 for a one-year insurance policy with the insurance coverage beginning on that date. On December 31, 2020, Adams needs to make adjusting entries to reflect the part of insurance that it has consumed. How will this adjusting entry affect the company's current ratio on December 31 2020

Answer 1

Decrease the Current ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

When the insurance is consumed, the assets in prepaid insurance decreases. So (three) 3 months insurance of $1,200 was consumed. Resulting in an expense of $1,200 and a decrease in assets of $1,200. Overall effect is a decrease in current ratio
