    The journal entries should be as follows:

    July 1, purchase of 3-year insurance policy

    Dr Prepaid insurance 13,500

    Cr Cash 13,500

    December 1, paid for two years of advertising in local radio

    Dr Prepaid advertising 36,000

    Cr Cash 36,000

    By December 31, the adjusting journal entries should be:

    Dr Insurance expense 2,250

    Cr Prepaid insurance 2,250

    *insurance expense = ($13,500 / 36 months) x 6 months = $2,250

    Dr Advertising expense 1,500

    Cr Prepaid advertising 1,500

    *advertising expense = ($36,000 / 24 months) x 1 month = $1,500
