Explanation / Answer

Increase in prepaid expense = 13,500 – 9,500

                                                     =$4,000

Reported in statement of cash flow

= insurance expense + increase in prepaid expense

=$19,500 + $4,000

= $23,500 answer

Increase in prepaid expense = 13,500 – 9,500

                                                     =$4,000

Reported in statement of cash flow

= insurance expense + increase in prepaid expense

=$19,500 + $4,000

= $23,500 answer
