    The insurance expense for the period is $ 510

    Explanation:

    The insurance premium paid in advance for 2 years period is $ 4,080 and debited to prepaid insurance

    The monthly insurance expense for insurance would be $ 4,080 / 24 months

    $ 4,080 / 24 = $ 170 per month

    The period of benefit for the insurance is from October to December so it is 3 months.

    the insurance expense for the period is $ 170 per month * 3 months = $ 510
