What is the journal entry of goods destroyed by rain 90000 insurance company admitted the claim?

The journal entry for goods destroyed by rain, with an insurance claim of 90,000 admitted by the insurance company, would involve recognizing the loss of the inventory and the insurance receivable. The entry would be: Debit "Loss from Inventory Write-off" for 90,000. Credit "Inventory" for 90,000. Debit "Insurance Receivable" for 90,000 when the claim is recognized. Credit "Insurance Income" for 90,000 once the claim is received. This reflects the loss of goods and the expected recovery from the insurance claim.
