Answer / vikrant

Amortization:

It is different from depreciation, which is periodic writing off of the asset based on its normal life expectany. Amoritization is usually accompanied by putting aside money in a SINKINGFUND, so that the considerably increased cost of replacement or modernization can be met, when it is needed.


IMPAIRMENT:-
damage: the occurrence of a change for the worse
deterioration: a symptom of reduced quality or strength
disability: the condition of being unable to perform as a consequence of physical or mental unfitness; "reading disability"; "hearing impairment"
damage that results in a reduction of strength or quality
