CPA-00713
Roro, Inc. paid $7,200 to renew its only insurance policy for 3 years on March 1, 1995, the effective date of the policy.  At March 31, 1995, Roro's unadjusted trial balance showed a balance of $300 for prepaid insurance and $7,200 for insurance expense.  What amounts should be reported for prepaid insurance and insurance expense in Roro's financial statements for the 3 months ended March 31, 1995?

Answer: Prepaid insurance $7,000 and Insurance expense $500

I'm not sure what's going on here....  I know that the new insurance policy should be expensed for $200 since 1 month has expired of the total 36 months.  That would mean 200 expense and 7,000 left in prepaid.  Why does the answer include the $300 unadjusted balance in prepaid insurance?  The problem doesn't indicate whether or not we even "used" up the $300 of prepaid or if we even used the full 300....

The unadjusted trial balance shows $300. You pretty much have to assume that since this number is so small in relation to the price paid for prepaid insurance, it was expensed as insurance expense for January and February. This threw me for a loop too.
