    why is the allowance for depreciation a credit balance? I thought since depreciation is treated as an expense it should be debited.

    With regard to the previous question on tangible i was able to deal with it but i have to revise the chapter against to clear out some doubts.

    The accumulated depreciation is always a credit balance because the reduces the value of the asset on the SOFP.
