Example 1:

A customer list is purchased for ₹1,50,000 (marketing intangible), with an expected life of 3 years. However, usage is heavily skewed in the first year (50%), then 30% in second year, and 20% in third. Show the amortisation. No salvage.

Solution :

  • Cost = 1,50,000. No salvage.
  • Usage pattern: 50%, 30%, 20%.

So,

  • Year 1 = 1,50,000 × 50% = ₹75,000
  • Year 2 = 1,50,000 × 30% = ₹45,000
  • Year 3 = 1,50,000 × 20% = ₹30,000
  • Total = 75k + 45k + 30k = 1,50,000.

Example 2:

A brand name is purchased for ₹4,00,000 with an initial 8-year expected useful life. It has no active market at the end of 8 years, so residual value = 0. Using straight-line amortisation, find (a) the annual expense and (b) the carrying amount after 5 years.

Solution :

1. Cost = 4,00,000

2. Life = 8 years

3. Residual = 0 (no active market)

(a) Annual amortisation = (4,00,000 / 8) = ₹50,000.
(b) After 5 years, total amortisation = 5 × 50,000 = ₹2,50,000. So carrying value = 4,00,000 – 2,50,000 = ₹1,50,000.

Example 3

On 1st October, ABC Ltd. acquired an exclusive license for ₹1,20,000. The license is valid for 4 years, and is available for use immediately on the same date (1st October). The company’s financial year ends on 31st March.

1. Calculate the annual straight-line amortisation if it were a full year.

2. Calculate the amortisation for the first financial year (i.e., from 1st Oct to 31st Mar).

Solution

1. Pehla step: Full-year (12 months) ke liye agar hum amortise karein, toh

Annual Amortisation=1,20,000/4 years=₹30,000 har saal.

Iska matlab agar poore 12 mahine use karte toh 30k expense hota.

2. First financial year (1st Oct se 31st Mar) tak sirf 6 mahine hi ho rahe hain. Toh hum pro-rata basis pe karenge:

30,000×6/12=₹15,000

Matlab pehle saal me 15k hi amortisation charge hoga kyunki use sirf 6 mahine hua hai.

Example 4

On 1st April Year 1, a company purchased Brand X for ₹5,00,000 with an expected useful life of 10 years. After 2 years, management decides the brand can actually last for 12 years total. Show how the amortisation is revised from the 3rd year onward (straight-line, zero residual).

Solution (Hinglish)

  • Shuru mein hum assume kar rahe the 10 saal. Toh annual amortisation = 5,00,000/10=₹50,000 per saal.
  • 2 saal ho gaye, toh total amortise = 50,000 × 2 = 1,00,000. Bacha hua carrying value = 5,00,000 – 1,00,000 = ₹4,00,000.
  • Ab management ko lagta hai brand 12 saal chal sakta hai total. Par 2 saal already use ho chuke. Matlab ab 10 saal remain (12 – 2).
  • Revised amortisation from 3rd year = 4,00,000 / 10 = ₹40,000 har saal.
  • Is tarah se aap 3rd year se lekar 12th year tak ₹40k charge karoge.

Total 1,00,000

5,00,000 – 1,00,000 = 4,00,000

Years 3–12 (revised)

4,00,000 / 10 = 40k per year

40k per year

Finally reduces to 0 after year 12

Example 5

XYZ Ltd. acquired a software package for ₹3,60,000 on 1st January with a useful life of 4 years. However, they estimate that usage is 30% in the first year, 25% in the second, 25% in the third, and 20% in the fourth. Compute the year-wise amortisation (no residual value).

Solution

  • Cost = 3,60,000. Residual = 0 assume kar lo.
  • Usage pattern diya hua hai: 30%, 25%, 25%, 20%.
  • Aap cost ke hisaab se har year utna percent apply kar do.

Calculation:

  • 1st year: 3,60,000 × 30% = ₹1,08,000
  • 2nd year: 3,60,000 × 25% = ₹90,000
  • 3rd year: 3,60,000 × 25% = ₹90,000
  • 4th year: 3,60,000 × 20% = ₹72,000
  • Total = 1,08,000 + 90,000 + 90,000 + 72,000 = 3,60,000 (puri cost).

Example 6

On 1st April, PQR Ltd. purchased a patent for ₹2,00,000 with an expected life of 5 years. The annual straight-line amortisation is ₹40,000. After 3 years, the patent is found to be impaired due to a competitor’s technology. The new recoverable amount at the end of Year 3 is ₹30,000. Show the amortisation plus impairment effect.

Solution

1. Shuru se hum 2,00,000 / 5 = ₹40,000 har saal charge kar rahe the.

2. 3 saal ke baad total amortise = 40k × 3 = 1,20,000. Carrying value = 80,000.

3. Par ek competitor ki wajah se patent ki value gir gayi. Ab recoverable sirf 30,000 hai. Toh impairment = 80,000 – 30,000 = ₹50,000.

4. Year 3 ke end me hum impairment record kar denge.

5. Bacha hua carrying = ₹30,000. Baaki 2 saal me hum normal amortisation kar sakte hain (assuming abhi 2 aur saal use hoga). Toh 30,000 ÷ 2 = ₹15,000 each year for year 4 & 5.

Example 7

A license costing ₹4,20,000 has a useful life of 3 years. The company decides to use the double-declining balance (DDB) method for amortisation (no salvage). Calculate the amortisation for each year.

Hint: DDB rate for 3 years is typically (100% ÷ 3) × 2 = 66.67% per year on the opening carrying amount.

Solution

1. Rate nikaalo: 1/3 = 33.33%. Double = 66.67%.

2. Year 1: Opening 4,20,000. 66.67% of 4,20,000 = 2,80,000. Closing = 1,40,000.

3. Year 2: Opening 1,40,000. 66.67% of 1,40,000 = 93,333. Closing 46,667.

4. Year 3: Opening 46,667. 66.67% of that = 31,111 approx. Closing 15,556.

  • DDB method me aap end tak pura zero ho sakta hai ya ek chota leftover rahta hai jo final me adjust kar sakte ho.

Software License Amortization

Example 8:


ABC Ltd. purchases a software license for $50,000. The useful life of the software is 5 years. Calculate the annual amortization expense using the straight-line method.

Solution:

Amortization Expense=50,000/5=10,000 per year

Hinglish Explanation:


Company ne ek software license purchase kiya jo 5 saal tak kaam karega. Straight-line method ka matlab hai ki har saal ek equal amount amortize hoga.
Toh $50,000 ko 5 saal ke beech divide karenge toh har saal ka amortization expense = $10,000 hoga.

Copyright Amortization

Example 9:

LMN Ltd. purchases copyrights for $60,000, and the useful life is 6 years. Calculate the annual amortization expense.

Solution:

Amortization Expense=60,000/6=10,000 per year

Hinglish Explanation:

Copyright movies, books, music compositions ke intellectual property rights ko protect karta hai. Yahaan 6 saal ka useful life diya gaya hai, toh har saal $10,000 amortize kiya jayega.

Customer Contracts Amortization

Example 10:

A company buys customer contracts for $120,000, and the useful life is 12 years. What is the annual amortization expense?

Solution:

Amortization Expense=120,000/12=10,000 per year

Hinglish Explanation:

Company ne customer contracts $120,000 me purchase kiye, jinka useful life 12 saal hai. Annual amortization ka matlab hai ki har saal equal amount amortize hoga.
Toh $120,000 ko 12 saal ke beech divide karenge, toh har saal $10,000 amortize hoga.

Overall Hinglish Recap

  • Amortisation intangible assets pe hota hai, similar to Depreciation par yeh intangible ke liye use karte hain.
  • Agar partial year ho, toh hum months ka ratio leke pro-rata charge kar dete hain.
  • Usage-based methods (jaise percentage usage, units-of-production) tab use karte hain jab actual usage pattern pata ho.
  • Double-declining ya other accelerated methods aap tab use karte ho jab aapko lagta hai pehle saalon me zyada benefit use ho raha hai.
  • Agar impairment ho jaye, carrying value ko reduce karke difference impair record karna hota hai.
