    B $12,300

    Explanation:

    Note that the movements in the prepaid insurance account balance is as a result of payments and amortization of these expenses as they fall due. While additional payments increases the prepaid insurance balance, amortization reduces it.

    Given that the ending balance in the Prepaid insurance account for 2018 is $1,400. This is the opening balance for prepaid insurance in 2019. Given that the insurance expense for 2019 is $12,800 and the ending balance in the Prepaid insurance account for 2019 is $900

    Let the amount paid in 2019 be r

    Then

    $1,400 + r - $12,800 = $900

    r = $900 + $12,800 - $1,400

    r = $12,300

    The right answer is B $12,300
