Document Summary

Expenses paid in cash and recorded as assets before they are used. When the cost is incurred, an asset (prepaid) is increased (debited) to show the future service or benefit, and cash is decreased. Expire with the passage of time or through use. Not practical to record this expiration on a daily basis, so done when statements are prepared. Adjusting entry increases an expense account and decreases the asset (prepaid) account. Cash received and recorded as liabilities before revenue is earned. When the cash is received, cash is increased (debited), and a liability account (unearned revenue) is increased (credited) Adjusting entry decreases the liability (unearned revenue) account and increases a revenue account.
