what is amortization?

Answer Posted / ajay s. chaurasia

Amortization is writing off the value of fictitious &
intangible assets.For example, if goodwill has a fifteen-
year life with a value of $60,000, the amortization expense
on the straight-line method would be $4,000 ($60,000
divided by 15 years.)
