    Answer: Journal Entry shall be:

    Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr. $1,500

    To Cash A/c $1,500

    (Prepaid insurance for upcoming 6 months is paid)

    Explanation:

    As provided the insurance premium is paid on December 17, that is near the closing of the year.

    As books are closed on 31 December each year, and insurance premium is for 6 months, thus on date of year end the balance shown is a prepaid insurance expense.

    Thus, Entry will be

    Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr. $1,500

    To Cash A/c $1,500

    (Prepaid insurance for upcoming 6 months is paid)

    Here, the asset is prepaid insurance, as this relates to upcoming financial year but paid at closing of current year books.
