a. debit Insurance Expense, $740; credit Prepaid Insurance $740

Explanation:

Insurance payment for 5 years = $3,700

On January 1, $3,700 has been recorded as prepaid expense by debiting prepaid insurance and crediting cash.

At the end of first year an insurance expense for one year is accrued and should be recorded by transferring balance of $740 from prepaid insurance account to insurance expense account  

Insurance payment per year = $3,700 / 5 = $740 per year

The adjusting entry will be

Debit      Insurance Expense    $740

Credit     Prepaid Insurance     $740
