Amortize means Repayment of a loan by installments; an
accounting procedure allowing gradual repayment
(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

DEPRECIATION is An accounting term for the cost recovery of
REAL PROPERTY and PERSONAL PROPERTY; the EXPENSE deduction

FIXED ASSET; AMORTIZATION of a fixed asset. The duration of
