A company earns revenues by

selling products - Sales

providing services - Fees Earned

renting out premises - Rent Revenue

lending money - Interest Revenue

The amounts used in earning revenue are called expenses.

Revenue and expenses

Expenses that have paid for (or incurred) but not yet been used up are referred to as

prepaid expenses e.g. supplies.

When these prepaid expenses have been used up, they will then become regular

expenses e.g. supplies expenses
