why Prepaid Expense is treated as an asset & what will be
its journal entry using golden rules of accounting.

Answer Posted / 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.

M/s ABC Brothers, which was registered in the year 2000, has been following Straight Line Method (SLM) of depreciation. In the current year it changed its method from Straight Line to Written Down Value (WDV) Method, since such change would result in the additional depreciation of Rs. 200 lakhs as a result of which the firm would qualify to be declared as a sick industrial unit. The auditor raised objection to this change in the method of depreciation. The objection of the auditor is justified because (a) Change in the method of depreciation should be done only with the consent of the auditor (b) Depreciation method can be changed only from WDV to SLM and not vice versa (c) Change in the method of deprecation should be done only if it is required by some statute and change would result in appropriate presentation of financial 6 statement (d) Method of depreciation cannot be changed under any circumstances
