Answer 1

$17,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to be used is as follows: Beginning Prepaid Insurance Expense balance + Cash paid for insurance premium - Ending prepaid insurance balance = Insurance expense

$3,000 + Cash paid - $2,200 = $18,200

$800 + Cash paid = $18,200

Cash paid = $18,200 - $800

Cash paid = $17,400

So, the cash paid for insurance premiums during 2014 was $17,400
