Are prepaid expense a current asset?

If prepaid expanses represents current year expenses then it is current assets

in fact, prepaid expenses are current assets. why? this is because you had paid in advance for the item you want to purhase. eg, if u renting a building which cost u $100000, but u paid $200000, then that additional paid amount is your asset. what is the definition of assets? well, there are 3 component that makes them up. by understanding these 3 component, u can more or less classify items u are not sure. first component, it brings future economic benefits, second you have control over it, and third, it rises from a past event. hopes this help :-)
