Rent on the balance sheet, huh? Man, I'm in the wrong business. Maybe I should've majored in accounting instead of comedy. At least then I'd know where to put all my unpaid bills!

B: Yeah, that's right. It's considered a prepaid expense until it's actually used up.

D, definitely D. I'm not falling for those sneaky asset options. Rent's a cost, and if it's accrued, it's gotta be a liability. Simple as that!

Hold up, isn't rent supposed to be paid in advance? This question's playing tricks on me. But I think D is the right answer. Gotta keep those liabilities in check, am I right?

Yeah, D makes sense. We need to be careful with how we categorize our expenses on the balance sheet.

Hmm, tricky one. I was tempted to go with C, prepaid expenses, but then I remembered that accrued rent is a liability, not a prepaid asset. Gotta love those accounting technicalities!

Aha! The answer is clearly D. Current liabilities. Rent accrued at the balance sheet date is a liability, not an asset or deferred income. Easy peasy!

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be considered as current liabilities since it's a cost that needs to be paid in the future.

I agree with Phuong, listing it as prepaid expenses makes sense because the rent has already been paid for but not yet used.
