My answer is1. Debit: Prepaid Insurance. Credit: Cash
Recording an expense that would benefit for long period of time is recorded as prepaid. This is an example of defferal. Eventually, these account is decreased though amortization over a period of time where it is expected to benefit the entity.
Though initially, it could be recorded as Option 2. Debit: Insurance. Credit: Cash. and needs to be adjusted at the year of reporting period for its remaining portion. The entry at the end of reporting period would be debit Prepaid Insurance and Credit Insurance for the unamortized amount.
