    Classified Balance Sheet
    I am having trouble doing a Classified Balance Sheet. Is Accumulated Depreciation liability or assets?

    Accumulated Depreciation is an asset.

    More specifically, it is a contra-asset. It is an asset, but if behaved contrary to a normal asset.

    So on the Balance Sheet, it can look like this:

    Cash 1,000
    AR 1,500
    Supplies 500
    Building 80,000
    Less Accumulated Depreciation 20,000

    Total Assets 63,000 (which is 1,000 + 1,500 + 500 + 80,000 – 20,000)
