The balance in Eve's prepaid insurance account as of December 2021 is $18000 as shown below.

Explanation:

The balance of prepaid insurance would be the balance left after 12 months expense has taken from both amounts

Liability policy $36000*6/18=$12000

Crop damage policy $12000*12/24=$6000

Balance of prepaid insurance $18,000

The balance of $18000 would be left in the prepaid insurance account, whereas the balance damage crop policy account would be enough for the coming year, there is a need for 6 months insurance policy payment in respect of liability policy in the year 2022
