<span>Let us first find out how much of the prepaid subscriptions has been used up during the reporting year. $1548 is for 36 months. So the monthly rate of subscription charges will be 1548/36 = 43. During the reporting year, subscription charges are paid only for 9 months( from April to December) So the amount to be debited to subscription charges = 43 * 9 = 387.

The remaining amount, 1548-387=1161, will remain in prepaid subscriptions account as a debit balance.</span>
