Respuesta :

Answer:

d. A credit to Prepaid Insurance for $680.

Explanation:

The computation of the prepaid insurance is shown below:

Given that

Four month prepaid insurance = $2,720

For one month, the prepaid insurance is

= $2,720 ÷ 4 months

= $680

Since we have to record the prepaid expenses for 1 month, we divided the total prepaid insurance by the 4 months due to that it decreases by $680 and that's why we credited this account
