Answer:

A. insurance expense 1,750 Prepaid insurance 1,750

Explanation:

Since the payment is made for one year, therefore only insurance expense in respect of five months i.e. from August to December shall be recorded in the accounts of the Yummy foods as at December 31.The remaining expense of seven months shall be recorded in the next year.

The following adjusting entry shall be recognised in respect of insurance expense in the accounts of Yummy Foods.

Insurance expense                               $1,750

(4,200*5/12)

Prepaid insurance                                                               $1,750                                            

So based on the above discussion, the answer shall be A. insurance expense 1,750 Prepaid insurance 1,750
