Answer :

The amount that will appear on the company's income statement will be equal to $8800 that is option A is correct.

Insurance policies are purchased by organizations as a method of future safety as these insurance policies provide some money to the insurance holder in case of any accident occurring within the organization. Now, in order to calculate the amount, first we calculate the Insurance amount per year.

Insurance amount per year = Purchasing amount/time period

Insurance amount per year = $26400/2

Insurance amount per year = $13200

Now, the value per month will be

Insurance amount per month = Insurance amount per year/12

Insurance amount per month = $13200/12

Insurance amount per month = $1100

Now, from May 1 to December 31 will be a period of 8 months. so, the Insurance expense will be

Insurance Expense = Insurance amount per month × 8

Insurance Expense = $1100 × 8

Insurance Expense = $8800
