    The adjusting entry is as follows

    On December 31

    Insurance expense A/c Dr $5,150

    To Prepaid insurance A/c $5,150

    (Being the insurance expense is recorded)

    It is computed below:

    = Balance in prepaid insurance account - unexpired amount

    = $9,050 - $3,900

    = $5,150

    While passing the adjusting entry we debited the insurance expense account and credited the prepaid insurance account
