Solution

False. Prepaid Insurance is not an expense account. It is an asset account which represents the amount of insurance that has been paid in advance. It is considered a current asset on the balance sheet of a company. The cost of prepaid insurance is gradually recognized as an expense through the process of amortization over the term of the insurance contract, typically through monthly charges to the income statement.
