    Insurance expense acct is a normal debit balance. To close it, you need to credit it.

    c.

    You must determine the insurance that has expired (Debit Insurance Expense) and reduce income (Credit income summary) by the same amount.

    This way you will have properly assigned expenses to the proper accounting cycle.
