I use asset accounts. It really depends on your business. Do you have an accountant?
Following are the accounts with normal credit balance: 1 - Net income 2 - Liabilities account 3 - Owners equity account
A dormant account is some sort of account or credit line that is open, but inactive. For instance, I have an equity line of credit with a zero balance. It is dormant.
There are two main differences that stand out between a Debit Account and a Credit Account, those are;A Debit Account always maintains a Debit Balance, meaning the account increases with a Debit to that account and decreases with a Credit to that account. These are generally Asset Accounts.A Credit Account is just the opposite, A Credit Account maintains a Credit Balance, meaning that the account increases with a Credit and decreases with a Debit, these accounts are usually used for Liabilities and Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity).
Owners Equity accounts are increased by a credit. If you look at the accounting equation you will see the logic Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity You can't add a debit + credit. So Owners Equity Increases with a credit.
Contra Equity refers to an equity account with a normal debit balance, where as other standard equity accounts have normal credit balances. Expense accounts are contra equity accounts because they are used to find totals for a debit of the owner's equity account.

Because equity is an income - therefore it is a credit, not a debit.
CREDIT
Equity account or increase or decrease in equity account is shown in cash flow from financing activities.
Cash is neither considered Debit or Credit. There are three basic categories of accounts, accounts will fall under (generally) either Assets, Liabilities, or Owners Equity (aka Stockholders Equity).The term Debit and Credit, literally translated mean, Debit = Left side:Credit = Right side, in double entry accounting.Assets will increase with a debit and decrease with a credit.Liabilities and Owners Equity will increase with a credit and decrease with a debit.If you "receive" cash, you debit the cash account. If you "pay out" cash, you credit the cash account.
