Solution:

The adjusting entry is as follows

Insurance expense Dr  $3,000 ($12,000 × 3 months ÷ 12 months)

           To Prepaid insurance $3,000

(Being the insurance expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the insurance expense as it increased the expense and credited the prepaid insurance as it decreased the assets
