Adjusting Entries 2
Another situation requiring an adjusting journal entry __________ when an amount has already been recorded in the company's accounting records, but the amount is for more than the current accounting period. To illustrate let's __________ that on December 1, 2016 the company paid its insurance agent $2,400 for insurance protection during the period of December 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017. The $2,400 transaction was __________ in the accounting records on December 1, but the amount represents six months of coverage and expense. By December 31, one month of the insurance coverage and cost have been used up or __________. Hence the income statement for December should report just one month of insurance cost of $400 ($2,400 divided by 6 months) in the account Insurance Expense. The balance sheet dated December 31 should __________ the cost of five months of the insurance coverage that has not yet been __________ up. This means that the balance sheet dated December 31 should report five months of insurance cost or $2,000 ($400 per month times 5 months) in the __________ account Prepaid Insurance. Since it is __________ that the $2,400 transaction on December 1 was recorded this way, an adjusting entry will be needed at December 31, 2016 to get the income statement and balance sheet to report this __________.

Adjusting Entries 2
Another situation requiring an adjusting journal entry arises when an amount has already been recorded in the company's accounting records, but the amount is for more than the current accounting period. To illustrate let's assume that on December 1, 2016 the company paid its insurance agent $2,400 for insurance protection during the period of December 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017. The $2,400 transaction was recorded in the accounting records on December 1, but the amount represents six months of coverage and expense. By December 31, one month of the insurance coverage and cost have been used up or expired. Hence the income statement for December should report just one month of insurance cost of $400 ($2,400 divided by 6 months) in the account Insurance Expense. The balance sheet dated December 31 should report the cost of five months of the insurance coverage that has not yet been used up. This means that the balance sheet dated December 31 should report five months of insurance cost or $2,000 ($400 per month times 5 months) in the asset account Prepaid Insurance. Since it is unlikely that the $2,400 transaction on December 1 was recorded this way, an adjusting entry will be needed at December 31, 2016 to get the income statement and balance sheet to report this accurately.
