(retirement) of a debt by means of systematic payments of
principal and interest over a period of the estimated life
of the asset on which the loan is made or secured. For
FIXED ASSETS, DEPRECIATION is the allowance for wear-out.
For natural resources, DEPLETION is the allowance for the
wasting away of the asset.
