Amortización de un activo a un ritmo superior al normal. En algunos casos (por ejemplo, máquinas de proceso de datos) se puede conseguir que la amortización sea fiscalmente deducible a pesar de hacerse en un plazo inferior al habitual. Los métodos más usuales son el de un porcentaje fijo sobre lo que queda por amortizar y el de la suma de los dígitos de los años. A efectos fiscales y para incentivar la inversión, la Administración puede autorizar amortizaciones aceleradas para los bienes comprados durante un período o lugar determinado (por ejemplo, en España durante 1993 y 1994 o en Sevilla durante la Exposición Universal). 3, record 7, Spanish, - amortizaci%C3%B3n%20acelerada

Our Adjustable Rate-Adjustable Payment Mortgage is ideal if you want to maximize your cash flow-it offers our lowest available mortgage payment. The interest rate and payment are adjusted on the first day of each month based on our mortgage prime rate and the remaining amortization period of your mortgage. This lowers your mortgage payments so you can use your extra cash for other purposes. And, you’ll benefit from an automatic rate reduction of 0. 50 per cent off our mortgage prime rate during the entire 54-month term. 2, record 9, English, - mortgage%20prime%20rate

Charge imputée aux résultats pour rendre compte du fait que la durée de vie des immobilisations est limitée et pour répartir d'une manière logique et systématique le coût de ces biens, moins leur valeur de récupération ou leur valeur résiduelle, sur les exercices au cours desquels on s'attend à consommer leur potentiel de service. 1, record 10, French, - amortissement%20de%20l%27exercice

L'expression «amortization expense» est souvent employée pour désigner la charge supportée par un exercice au titre de l'amortissement des immobilisations incorporelles (brevets d'invention, frais d'établissement, etc.), par opposition à «depreciation expense» pour l'amortissement des immobilisations corporelles et «depletion expense» dans le cas des ressources naturelles. L'amortissement est une charge calculée par opposition à d'autres charges dites réelles, par exemple les salaires et les réparations. Selon le «Plan comptable général français», on donne le nom d'«amortissements dérogatoires» aux amortissements ou fractions d'amortissements ne correspondant pas à l'objet normal d'un amortissement pour dépréciation et comptabilisés en application de textes particuliers; les amortissements dérogatoires font partie des provisions réglementées. 1, record 10, French, - amortissement%20de%20l%27exercice
