Explanation: I think this is depreciation here. It is, after all, an investment in machinery, not a financial investment, and the machinery is to be depreciated over a period of 6 years.

Just some more info to clarify my idea here:
machinery is a tangible, fixed asset. Such things are depreciated in GB English. I believe that amortization can be used for such things in the USA (but don\'t quote me on that point! However, if it\'s true, and you\'re writing in US English, you don\'t need to worry about the difference!)
In the GB we use amortisation for leases, the repayment of a debt by a borrower in a series of instalments over a period (a loan amortizable in 15 years, for example), goodwill (Oxford accounting dictionary)
I took your amortizable in this case to refer to the machinery
Yep, sorry should have made that clearer, I'm not talking about a financial investment in shares or funds etc, but rather the investment made by an entrepreneur when setting up his company. i.e. the money he laid out to get it up and running by purchasing machinery in this case. cheers

\"Callable
Able to be redeemed prior to Maturity. The Term usually applies to bonds and Convertible securities. The Issuer of a Callable security has to state the conditions under which the security may be called at the time of issue. For most securities, there is a certain initial time period in which the security cannot be called. A bond will usually be called when market Interest rates fall below the Yield being Paid on the bond (bonds are usually called when the price rises to a certain point). To reflect this Risk, a Callable security is usually priced lower than a Non-callable security.\"

Explanation: In this specific context, I believe the context referes specifically to a debt with a repayment period of 6 years. The correct words are "amortizable." This is further clarified with the second sentence.
Equipment is depreciated also. But this is not what the context is referring to.
