Answer / diana ann isaac
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of fixed
assets over the useful life of the asset in some reasonable
manner. When the fixed assets are purchased, they are
capitalized at the time of purchase, rather than expensed
and written off/depreciated over the years for which the
asset is being utilized.
Amortization is the process of writing off intangible
assets like patents, copyrights etc over the subsequent
years.

Answer / ankur parwal
Amortaization is used for writing of capital expenditures
that do not create any asset (Eg. repayment of debt, debt

Depriciation is used to reduce the vale of the asset by the
amount by which it is used over the period. and is always
