Question: Define the term 'amortization' in accounting.
Answer: Amortization is the process of allocating the cost of intangible assets over their useful life, similar to depreciation for tangible assets.

Example:

If a company acquires a patent for $50,000 with a useful life of 10 years, the annual amortization expense is $5,000.
