Answer #1

Answer: Option $150,000

Retained Earnings Balance at the end of Dec 31 2020 = $100,000

Insurance premium debited = $60000

Actually the insurance premium is for 3 years but the whole amount is debited as expense in current year

Insurance Expense to be Debited for the year 2020 = $60,000/3*6/12 =$10000

So Actual amount of retained Earnings at beginning of 2021 = Retained Earnings Balance + Insurance premium Debited - Actual insurance premium to be debited

Actual Beginning Retained Earnings in 2021 = $100,000 +$60000 - $10,000 = $150,000
