Expert Solution

--Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment is the account that has a nature of 'contra' account.

--Its a 'contra asset' account. Assets have normal debit balance, but adjustment entries will lead to the normal credit balance of this account.

--The accumulated CREDIT balance in this account is shown as a deduction from "Equipment" account, thereby decreasing the asset balance, and hence included in category of "Contra" account.
