Answer / v.hemant kumar
Amortization is the pratice of writtening off the capital
expense especially the expense on intangible assets such as
copyrights, patents, goodwill( that is purchased)etc, over
a particular period of time. It should not be confused with
depreciation as depreciation is with regard to tangible
assets only. However it should be understood that this is a
book entry only & does not involve any cash outflow.It is
mainly done for income tax reduction pratice only

Answer / n.r.jothi narayanan
Technically speaking Amortization refers to INTANGIBLE
ASSET and Depreciation refers to TANGIBLE asset.
For example a British company invented a washing machine
with a technology of washing clothes without water.
The fall in value of this new tech. washing machine over the
years is a Depreciation.(washing machine:a tangible asset.)
The fall in value of the patent of the new technology over
the years is a process of Amortization.(patent of new techno
-logy for waterless - washing machine: an intangible asset).
