Plant and Machinery

Fixed Assets
Normal balance Debit

This Fixed Assets code records the cost of plant and machinery owned by the business for long-term use, rather than for resale. As an asset account, it normally carries a debit balance: debit entries increase the balance (for example, when a new asset of this type is purchased), and credit entries decrease it (for example, when the asset is sold or disposed of).
