Q. What is credit balance?

If on the other side the sum of the credits exceeds the sum of the debits the account has a credit balance. For example assume that a company has an Accounts Payable account with a total of USD 10000 in debits and USD 13000 in credits. The account contained a credit balance of USD 3000 as shown in the following T-account Normal balances ever since debits increase expense, asset and dividend accounts they usually have debit or left-side balances. On the contrary for the reason that credits increase retained earnings, liability capital stock and revenue accounts they normally have credit or right-side balances.
