Debit to revenue receivable account and a credit to income account d). Debit to insurance expense account and a credit to prepaid insurance (asset account) e) debit to depreciation expense account and a credit to accumulated depreciation account

Explanation: The accounting formula is Assets + Expenses = Capital + Liability + Income.

To increase asset or expense you debit while you credit it to reduce the amount. Whereas to increase the capital, liability or income account you credit it while you debit it to reduce it.
