      @Samrat R.m Depreciation is for tangible assets, amortization for intangible assets.

      You're welcome, Mani! Happy to help. Please be aware that there are multiple uses of the word amortization. I use it in this video in relation to amortization of intangible assets, others might talk about loan amortization which is a completely different thing.

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  2 года назад

      The type of amortization I cover in this video is related to intangible assets on the balance sheet. What I think you are referring to is a loan amortization schedule, which is a very different topic (and I am not the one that can give you a really good explanation of it).

      Yes, that sounds very Dutch! It is highly likely that her ancestors may have been in the woodcutting business, running a mill (powered by wind or water) that would drive a mechanized form of woodcutting. The "saag" in the name is probably derived from the verb "zagen" (sawing).

      The link could be a term called an "amortization schedule": a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term.

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  4 года назад +2

      Hi Marina! Amortization is an expense line in the income statement. The higher expenses are, the lower the profit. See also my video on EBIT-EBITA-EBITDA ruclips.net/video/nImp51zYcy4/видео.html

      It can have a huge impact on profitability (net income), but not on cash flow (CFOA).

      It isn't. At least not in this video. I am discussing amortization here in the sense of taking a part of the intangible assets off the balance sheet into the P&L as expense.

    in the last part of the video, the weighted average amortization period is 3.4 years. I don't understand the breakdown you used to explain that because in the breakdown, there are more than 3.4 years accounted for the amortization, exceeding the weighted average amortization period

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  2 года назад +1

      Hello Radhy! I didn't calculate the 3.4 years myself, it comes straight out of the annual report of Apple. If you want to replicate it, you would need to know the date on which each intangible asset was added to the balance sheet, the amortization period for each of them, and then calculate the total amortization per year.

      I don't know what that means, but it probably has to do with the other use of the word amortization in the context of loan payments. In the video I made on amortization, I talk about amortization of intangible assets in accounting, which is something completely different.

      Yes, you could call the spreading of prepaid expenses over the months to which they apply either "amortization" or "allocation". ruclips.net/video/hUz39T8-V1I/видео.html
