Debit Balance - purchase is nominal account so rule of nominal account " debit all losses and expenses and credit all profit and gains" will apply

 

sometimes people treat purchase as real account because of goods involved then also rule of real account " debit what comes in and credit what goes out" will apply, again it will result in debit balance
