Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi

When payment is made, debit the expense account with the
amount relating to that period, debit Prepaid Expenses with
the remaining and credit bank or Cash A/c. Next year as and
when the expense accrues, debit expense a/c and credit
Prepaid Expenses A/c.
For example Insurance paid in Feb,10 for the period March,10
to Feb,11 - Rs. 35000/-

Payment entry in March,10:-

Insurance A/c Dr. Rs.2917/-
Prepaid Expenses A/c Dr. Rs.32083/-
Bank A/c Cr. Rs.35000/-

Next year from April to Feb, every month pass the following
Journal entry:-
Insurance A/c Dr. Rs.2917/-
Prepaid Expenses A/c Cr. Rs.2917/-

Prepaid expenses can be divided between different accounting
period based on number of days or months, based on
materiality of the transaction.
