Question

Future deductible amounts would be caused by Select one: a. Estimated Expenses and Prepaid Expenses b. Estimated Expenses, but not Prepaid Expenses c. Prepaid Expenses, but not Estimated Expenses d. Neither Estimated Expenses nor Prepaid Expenses

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Estimated Expenses, but not Prepaid Expenses (b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimated expense is a forecast of the amount of costs that will be incurred in future, to fulfil a transaction. An example might be an amount forecasted to cover a warranty cost for a purchased product under warranty in case a fault develops. Estimated expenses are not debited at the time of projection, but at a certain time in the future, hence they are called Future deductible amounts. On the other hand, Prepaid Expense is a type of expenditure that has not been recorded yet by a company as an expense, but the amount has been paid in advance for the good or service, even though the product has not been consumed at the time of payment.
