Rent in accounting terms refers to a recurring expense that you plan for. Rate refers more to something that results in a debit on expense, but a credit on payables.
Is Rent payable is recorded in accounting year?
First let me say there is no account referred to as "Rent Payable". Rent is an operating expense for a business, you have two main accounts that deal with rent. 1 is Prepaid Rent, the other is Rent Expense. Prepaid Rent is used if the company pays their rent in advance. Prepaid Rent is an Asset. For example a company pays 6 months rent in advance, the journal entry isPrepaid Rent (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$Each month as the rent is "used up" an adjusting entry must be made. Since the cash has already been paid the entries move the amount needed of that month from one account to another. In this case we want to move it from the asset account Prepaid Rent to the Expense account Rent Expense the entry is;Rent Expense (debit) $$$Prepaid Rent (credit) $$$As you notice since prepaid rent is an asset account it has a debit balance, therefore to "remove" the amount of rent used we must credit that amount.If the company pays their rent monthly on a cash basis the journal entry is simple and straight forward.Rent Expense (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$You will not see an account called "Rent Payable" as a payable account is a liability account and expense are not classified as a liability but an operating expense.
What is the entry when you are paying rent in advance?
When paying rent in advance, the entry involves debiting the Rent Expense account and crediting the Cash account. This reflects that you are incurring an expense for the future period while reducing your cash balance. If you are recording it as a prepaid expense, you would debit the Prepaid Rent account instead of Rent Expense, and still credit Cash. This distinction depends on how you choose to recognize the expense in your accounting records.
