A business pays $3,200 for rent covering the period from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019. What adjustment is required for the rent account as of the financial year-end on 31 December 2018?

A firm with a financial year ending 30 April has a $800 insurance debit balance on 1 May 2018. On 31 October 2018, a $2,100 annual premium is paid. What is the insurance expense for the year ending 30 April 2019?
