no, provision of depreciation is
credit in nature. And thus it should be shown at the credit side at trial balance.
Accumulated depreciation is a contra account to asset account to reduce the actual value of fixed asset so accumulated depreciation has a credit balance as a default balance which is reverse of fixed asset’s debit balance.
Accumulated depreciation is a contra account for specific fixed asset so fixed assets has debit balance as normal balance so accumulated depreciation has credit balance as default balance.
False. Normal Credit Balance.
yes
No depreciation expense is recorded in the income statement. As you know though every debit needs a corresponding credit so for the amount of the debit to depreciation expense in the income statement there is a corresponding credit to accumulated depreciation in the balance sheet. Which is a reduction of a fixed asset or more of a contra account to the fixed asset account. So you'd have the fixed asset cost, a debit balance, and an accumulated depreciation account, a credit balance. These two accounts when combined represent your net book balance of your fixed assets.
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.
Accumulated Depreciation normally has a credit balance and because it is shown on the asset (ie debit) side of the Balance Sheet, it is called a "contra-account"
