Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct journal entry for advertisement expenses when a portion is carried forward to the next financial year. It explains that if an expense relates to future periods, it should be treated as 'prepaid advertisement expense' or 'deferred revenue expense' and debited accordingly, rather than being posted to a 'payable' account. The correct entry involves debiting prepaid advertisement expenses and crediting the advertisement expense account for the amount relating to the next financial year.
Yes. in that case as per the agreement current year expenditure is debited to profit and loss a/c. next year advertisement expenditure which is paid in advance is considered as expenditure paid in advance.
Any of the expenses which is in the current year (say march) and the payment will be payable in next month (say Apr) then only will be prepare provisional entry...
Provisional entry (as payable) can't be future expenses... So, Payable entry is wrong as per query. Here payment expenditure will be split as per usage. Not for payments to suplier...
