what is the difference between amotization and
depreciations????
Answer Posted / c handu
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
FIXED ASSETS, DEPRECIATION is the allowance for wear-out.
For natural resources, DEPLETION is the allowance for the
wasting away of the asset.
DEPRECIATION is An accounting term for the cost recovery of
REAL PROPERTY and PERSONAL PROPERTY; the EXPENSE deduction
on an INCOME STATEMENT allowing for gradual wearout of a
FIXED ASSET; AMORTIZATION of a fixed asset. The duration of
the depreciation period approximates the useful life of the
asset. Commonly used methods of depreciation include
STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION; ACCELERATED DEPRECIATION;
ACCELERATED COST RECOVERY SYSTEM; DECLINING-BALANCE METHOD;
SUM-OF-THE-YEARS-DIGITS METHOD.
