    Prepaid Expenses are Current ________

    • Assets

    • Liabilities

    • Revenues

    • Expenses

    Correct Answer
    A. Assets
    Explanation
    Prepaid Expenses are Current Assets. Even though the word "expense" is in the name, Prepaid Expenses are those that are paid before the expense is actually incurred. Because the expense has not been incurred yet, the prepaid amounts are considered assets.

    When Revenue is earned, but the cash will be received in the future, this results in a(n):

    • Account Payable

    • Deferred Revenue

    • Deferred Expense

    • Account Receivable

    Correct Answer
    A. Account Receivable
    Explanation
    When revenue is earned, and cash will be received in the future, this results in the creation of an Account Receivable (an Asset).

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Revenue for products is generally earned when:

    • The product is created

    • Risk of ownership passes to the customer

    • The customer first uses the product

    • The product is made available for sale

    Correct Answer
    A. Risk of ownership passes to the customer
    Explanation
    The best answer is the second answer choice.

    None of the others indicate that revenue has been earned.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    In order for Revenue to be recorded or "recognized", it must be:

    • Earned and the cash received

    • Unearned but cash received

    • Earned and cash received or likely to be received

    • Earned and agreed with the customer that payment will never be made

    Correct Answer
    A. Earned and cash received or likely to be received
    Explanation
    Revenue cannot be recorded ("recognized") until it is BOTH earned and received/receivable ("realized/realizable").

    The first answer choice is incorrect because cash does not have to be received in order for revenue to be recognized. It has to be received OR receivable (hence, 'Accounts Receivable').

    The second answer choice would be a Deferred Revenue (a liability). The last answer choice would not qualify as revenue - it is volunteer work.

    A. The Balance Sheet
