Based of off the info you've given.

1. DR Prepaid Rent Expense $15000
    CR Bank $15000

OR

    DR Bank $15000
    CR Prepaid Rent Revenue $15000

Depends if it's a revenue or expense, question doesn't specify ^.

2. DR Electricity Expense $1500
    CR Sundry Creditor $1500

Not 100% sure though.

Thank you last but not least... what entries would we need for:

Accounts Payable $62,700
>Paid Accounts Payable in full receiving discount of 1% for paying in the discount period.

So we're assuming a cash discount.

When I learnt this you have

DR Accounts Payable 62700
  CR Cash 62073
  CR Discount Received 627

(Discount received could also be named discount revenue)

Thank you so much and what about if:

Debtor A $72,600 receivable.

>Debtor A paid within discount period in full, taking a 1% discount. What entries would we require?

The converse case is

DR Cash 71874
DR Discount Allowed 726
  CR Accounts Receivable 72600

(Discount allowed can also be named discount expense)
