Which of the following affects both the balance sheet and the income statement? and why?
(D) Amortization of prepaid insurance
This is because there will be a current asset (in the balance sheet) for the total amount of insurance & also an expense (in the income statement), each time the insurance is due and paid. This will also reduce the prepaid asset value.
For example: If a company pays $1,200 for an insurance policy covering the next 1 year, it will record a current asset of $1,200 at the time of payment to represent this prepaid amount. For every month during the year, the company would expense $100 which would even reduce the prepaid asset value.
