SG&A expenses are sales, general, and administrative expenses. They are company overhead costs that include recurring expenses like rent, office supplies, and salaries.
An essential expense is an expense that is necessary, for example rent or salary. It is something that cannot be gotten rid of or trimmed.
Prepaid rent is monetary item, booked to the debit of the balance sheet account as an asset and expensed to the P&L through a monthly booking by crediting the balance sheet and debiting the P&L rent account ( recognising expense). It is important to prepare a schedule showing how you expense the prepayment till you get a zero balance at the end of period covered by the prepayment, that is when you must have charged the total amount to the P&L account. It is not good accounting practice to charge the total amount of prepaid rent to P&L account in one period. Cheers Ndimuh Cosmas

Any prepaid rent (such as at the beginning of the month) should receive a journal entry debit to an account called prepaid rent, and at the end of the month should be credited to rent expense.
