Question

On January​ 1, 2018, the Prepaid Insurance account of​ Dogwood, Inc. had a beginning balance of $ 1,800. Three months of insurance premiums remain in this beginning balance. On February​ 21, 2018, the company paid an annual insurance premium in the amount of $ 4,100 for the period beginning March 1. On February​ 28, 2018, the balance in Prepaid Insurance is $ 1,200.A. TrueB. False

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning balance

-Period of policy= expired 2 months

-Period of unexpired insurance = 1 month (Out of 3 month, Insurance premium for period "Jan 1 to Feb 28" is expired)

Amount in prepaid insurance insurance= $1800 * 1/3 = $600

Current balance

Period = "0" since period of coverage will start from 1 march

Period of unexpired insurance = 12

Amount in prepaid insurance = 4,100

Thus, Total amount in prepaid insurance for the beginning and Current period= $600 + $4,100 = $4,700

The amount in prepaid insurance is $4700, hence the balance as stipulated as Prepaid Insurance = $ 1,200 is false
