The answer is Credit. Debit contra account always violate the cost principle. It is either A credit Balance or Zero Balance.
Correct answer is Credit Balance , as it reduces the Asset balance and is an appropriation from the Net profits.
accumulated depreciation have credit balance
Accumulated depreciation ( a contra account ) will likely have a credit balance .
A contra- asset account such as accumulated depression will likely have debit balance.
