Total Insurance cost: $120000. Monthly: $10000 
Interest Expense: $1080 
 
Maybe I am wrong, but here is personal opinion:  
 
Assumption: you have received the full amount invoice and this is the FIRST MONTH:  
 
1, the full amount of $120000 should be treated in BS as Prepayment in the beginning.  
Dr Prepayment $120000 Cr AP Control Account. Then you can pay whatever amount later on (i.e. pay $40000 in the first month ---> Dr AP Cr Bank).  
2, Expense $10000 into Insurance expense each month.  
Dr Insurance Expense Cr Prepayment.  
 
Regarding Interest charge, depending on your company policy, however it should be simplely putting into PL as interest expense.  
 
This is a simplified edition, where we threat the full invoice ($120000) as a whole, ignored effect of stampt duty & broker charge.  
 
Note: the above solution will make your AP aging summary looks bad as this invoice will be pay off at the 6th Month.  
If you have KPI to maintain a healthy AP Aging summary, you can ask the insurance company to issue you instalment invoice). 
 
 
*** If you receive invoice late, i.e. Received invoice cover Jan17-Dec17 in March 17, you can apply the same method above, however need to catch up the monthly expense of Jan & Feb in March. (i.e. your March insurance expense will be $30000 & following months will be $10000, at the end of year - Dec17, balance of prepayment reduce to zero).  
 
 
Hope this helps.
