23 April 2018 i want to know which entry is correct totally confuse please tell me journal entry of prepaid expenses for my point of view is

Prepaid Rent A/C DR
To Bank
(exp paid in advance)

Rent Exp A/C DR
To Prepaid Rent A/C

The net effect of entry is

Rent Exp A/C DR
To Bank

but the correct entry is

Prepaid Rent A/C DR
To Rent A/c
how, can any one explain when we paid exp in advance then bank account should be use as above i mention. please explain the step wise because first we paid exp in advance and then in future we received invoices shoe both the event/transaction.

Thanks
