Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi
Amount paid in advance in an accounting period for a service
to be received in a future accounting period is Prepaid
Advance. Since payee owes money or moneys worth (service) as
on the date of Balance Sheet at the end of that accounting
period, it's an asset.
When payment is made for future expense in advance the
entry is to :-
Debit Prepaid Expenses A/c, and
Credit Bank or Cash A/c.
In the future accounting period to which the expenses
relates, the entry will be :-
Debit Expenses A/c, and
Credit Prepaid Expenses A/c.
