Expert Solution

1.)

Net Income = retained earnings 2019 - retained earnings 2018+ Dividend

= $ 17100- $ 18500 + 4200

= $ (1400)+ 4200

= $2800

 

2.)

In the present year, we have 6 months and since 6 months diminished, premium balance is submitted in the balance sheet as prepaid insurance payment, and it is a lesser amount than the original payment originally and debited to asset account.
