Well, it depends on if your talking about international trade or GAAP accounting, because they are vice versa on a balance sheet. Just remember for accounting purposes that the debits (+) are all on the left side of the balance sheet, and credits/equity on the right (Debt and Shareholder equity). If they are assets that are potentially future income (such as your asset holdings, accounts receivable, etc.) that they belong on the left side of the balance sheet with cash and what not. If it is a debt (or credit) such as notes payable, long term debt, and equity (in the form of issued stock) it belongs on the right side of an accounting balance sheet. If your question is based on international economics, well that may take more time to explain than I care to type. I hope this helps to answer your question.
