Question
On September 1, 20X1, a firm purchased a 1-year insurance policy for 475.3,800.$5,700
Solution
The insurance policy was purchased on September 1, 20X1 and it is a 1-year policy. This means the policy will cover the firm until August 31, 20X2.
However, the question is asking for the insurance expense for the year ending December 31, 20X1. This means we are only interested in the insurance expense from September 1, 20X1 to December 31, 20X1.
This is a total of 4 months (September, October, November, and December).
The total cost of the insurance policy for 12 months is $5,700.
To find the cost for 4 months, we can divide the total cost by 12 to get the monthly cost and then multiply by 4.
475. This is the cost per month.
1,900.
So, the insurance expense associated with this policy for the year ending December 31, 20X1, is $1,900.
