amortization of capital Explanation: Gluck, Lo siguiente es lo que encontré en Eurodicautom: "Accountancy & commercial arithmetics (sn: applied accountancy; us: for accouncy theory, see: ECB1)" (=COA) Economic principles & theories (=EC4) Capital market(=FI9) (1) TERM amortización del capital circulante Reference Maquinaria y equipos agrícolas,CEMAGREF,1990 y Min.de Agricultura (1) TERM sinking of floating capital Reference Agricultural and machinery equipment,CEMAGREF,1990 (2) TERM amortisation of circulating capital Reference Agricultural and machinery equipment,CEMAGREF,1990 (3) TERM amortization of circulating capital Reference Agricultural and machinery equipment,CEMAGREF,1990 Note {DOM} economics and commerce:amortisation,American English Yo me inclinaría por el más simple y directo: amortization (o amortisation, dependiendo de quien leerá la traducción) of capital. Incluso le puedes simplificar aún más y poner capital amortization. Suerte! Patty -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-09 21:56:55 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I was doing more research on the topic and I agree with Pedrores that it should be \"principal\" and not capital. But amortization is understood as payment of the principal amount. Thus, the correct translation should be: principal amortization. |

repayment of principal Explanation: Aurora's right about depreciation vs. amortization, but this looks to me like applying the prevailing interest rate for each repayment of principal. Still doesn't sound quite right to me. I'd want to analyze the paragraph. |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1principal payment, or principal repayment Explanation: Within financial terminology the correct translation for "capital" is "principal". Capital has other meanings, but in the case of borrows the correct translation is this. (principal amount). The other term (amortizar) has one exact meaning in borrows: payment to principal . In accounting, "amortizar" refers asset management. The correct translation is: "principal payment" Reference: My own experience in financial management. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-09 21:03:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For example, see this page: http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2001/12/06/business/P... |
