Justification

Prepaid Expenses are Assets.

There are mainly three types of accounts.

1. Real Accounts.

2. Personal Accounts.

3. Nominal Accounts.

This classification is based on the nature of accounts i.e. asset, liability, legal entity,expenses, incomes etc.

Real Accounts

Accounts related to assets  (tangible or intangible) come under the category of real accounts e.g. land, furniture, machinery, goodwill, patents etc are real accounts.

Personal Accounts.

Accounts related to persons (living ar non living) are called personal accounts. In business we have to deal with a number of persons. Some are living like us  and some are artificial which do not have a living existence but have a separate legal existence.Thus in accountancy we classify persons into Natural Persons and Artificial Person.

Natural persons are the persons who are living e.g. Rahul, Mohit, Sam, Peter etc.

Artificial persons are all the firms, companies, institutions with whom you deal.

Nominal Accounts

These are the accounts related to incomes and expenditures of a business entity.
