Since its on the left side of the basic account equation of assets= liabilities + equity its normal balance would be a debit
Prepaid expense is personal account in nature and default normal balance is debit balance and shown under current asset in asset side of balance sheet.
it is a contra asset (negative) hence that's why it is shown as decreasing amt on the balance sheet. In other words, the contra account of any given account is of the same type. So, the contra of a fixed-asset account is also a fixed asset account but with the opposite normal balance. That's why depreciation is in the asset section.
No. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra-account which appears on the asset side of the Balance Sheet. It is a credit balance account which reduces the value of Fixed Assets to reflect their declining value due to age and use. The normal offset to an entry to the Accumulated Depreciation account is a debit to Depreciation Expense.
