an asset account is increased with a debit.
An asset account increases in the following instances:
1. Addition or purchase of an asset.
2. Substantial improvement / renovation to the asset which results in increase in the life of the asset.
3. Revaluation of an asset which has higher market value than the book value.
4. Credit sale results in increase of the current asset- debtors.
5. Payment of advances increase the asset- debtors
6. Receipt of advances increase the asset- cash/bank
Generally speaking anything that 'comes in' with a debit increases the asset account.
