Hey Friend, as we study in 11th Standard this is very simple point
Prepaid means Money which is paid during the year but not related to this year in other way, money paid in advance...
In your question answer is also given. money which is paid in advance is our assets that's why Rs. 400 is shown as assets.....

Actual Expense is Rs. 1400 for the relevant period (current period) and prepaid exp. of Rs. 400 is relevant for upcoming /future periods.
P&L is prepared for relevanr period (current period), so expenses should be related to that period.
