Answer:

credit , right (credit)

Explanation:

Increase in revenues leads to an increase in the net income.

Net income refers to the income arrived at after deducting all expenses and taxes. Out of this income, a business decides how much of it should be retained or distributed as dividends.

Such income represents profit for the owners and is added to shareholder's equity. Retained profits constitute a part of reserves.

Accounting equation is expressed as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

An increase in revenue or retained earnings is recorded on the right i.e credit side of the balance sheet.
