Explanation
Prepaid expenses are future expenses that have been paid in advance. In other words, prepaid expenses are costs that have been paid but are not yet used up or have not yet expired.
N400 is the only future expense that would still be viable at the end of the accounting year. The N400 represents current assets which are expected to be used or converted to cash within the year.
