    b. Debit : Insurance Expense 6,000 Credit: Prepaid Insurance 6,000

    Explanation:

    On October 1, Fred Company paid $48,000 for a two-year insurance policy, ($2,000 per month)

    From October 1 to December 31, Fred Company has used the insurance for 3 months.

    Insurance Expense = $2,000 x 3 = $6,000

    The adjusting entry Fred should make on December 31, the end of the accounting period:

    Debit Insurance Expense $6,000

    Credit Prepaid Insurance $6,000
