Answer:

Cubico Company

The correct adjusting entry would be:

B. Debit Prepaid Advertising $1,800; credit Advertising Expense $1,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Debit balances on December 31:

repaid Advertising $1,500

Advertising Expense 5,400

Determined future advertising cost = $3,300

The correct adjusting entry would be:

B. Debit Prepaid Advertising $1,800; credit Advertising Expense $1,800.

This will increase the prepaid advertising by $1,800 to $3,300 ($1,500 + $1,800) and reduce the advertising expense by $1,800 to $3,600 ($5,400 - $1,800).
