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 is the contra account in balance sheet to reduce the price of assets from balance sheet and depreciation is the expense account which shows the current year's expense in income statement, so depreciation account is closed in accumulated depreciation account to show the overall reduction in the price of assets for more than one fiscal year.
contra asset account, credit balance
No, even though accumulated depreciation has a credit balance, it is shown under assets. Accumulated depreciation is a contra T-account to a fixed tangible asset. For example, "Accumulated depreciation machines" is a contra T-account to "Machines". Contra T-accounts are presented together with the T-account they are connected with. Therefore, accumulated depreciation is shown on the debit side with assets. As it has a credit balance, the balance is subtracted. (The sign of a T-account 'flips' when the T-account is included on the opposite side on the balance sheet.)
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.
Yes. Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account, which means it has an opposite balance from a normal asset account. It is used to reduce the balance whatever asset you are deprecating. When you total your assets on the balance sheet, you deduct the cost of Accumulated depreciation from your assets to get the true worth of your assets.
Depreciation expense is a nominal account which will goin to net income at the end of term. Accumulated depreciation is a contra account with capital assets which shows up in balance sheet.
False. Normal Credit Balance.
