Option 1:

Dr Prepayment 20,000
Cr Cash 20,000

Option 2:

Dr PPE 50,000
Cr Cash 20,000
Cr Accounts Payable 30,000
All wrong but opt1 is close. No work started no obligation, no liabilities.

Why no answer??? U ask?? Because should be deposit or advance! Not prepayment.. ask the firm go study whats the diff.
