The answer is D

Dr: Insurance expense $4,400

Cr: Prepaid Insurance $4,400

Explanation:

Prepaid insurance is an asset because the benefits has been enjoyed. The business has paid ahead. As this benefits is being enjoyed, insurance expense will increase and prepaid insurance account will decrease by the same amount.

The insurance is for four years(48months) and the total amount paid was $52,800. So what will be recognized monthly is

$52,800/48months

=$1,100

From September 1 through December 31st is four months. That means $4,400($1,100 x4) will be recognized as interest expense and prepaid insurance will also decrease by this amount too.

We have:
