Amortisation:-


An accounting descripttion of the writing-down of the book value of an asset over time or the systematic repayment of a debt. Amortisation of a debt is the gradual reduction in value of the debt through the payment of regular instalments until the total amount has been discharged. A loan which is not amortised would involve the payment of interest only during the term of the loan and then the repayment of the principal in full. Accountants use the term 'amortisation' to describe what others would call 'depreciation' when writing down the value of intangibles such as patents or capitalised oil exploration expenses.

Accommodation bill (of exchange):-


The type of bill of exchange most commonly used in Australian financial markets. The accommodation bill grew out of the trade-related bills of exchange which had been widely used since the last century in financing world trade. At present, accommodation bills are a means of providing finance (lending) without necessarily having an underlying trade transaction (whereas trade bills are based on specific transactions). Accommodation parties are defined under the Bills of Exchange Act 1909 - 1973 thus: 'An accommodation party to a bill is a person who has signed a bill as drawer/acceptor/endorser, without receiving value therefor, and for the purpose of lending his name to some other person.' The idea behind the accommodation bill is to lend the weight of the stronger party's name (through accepting/drawing/endorsing the bill) to another party whose name is less marketable.

n probability theory the expected value (or mathematical expectation, or mean) of a discrete random variable is the sum of the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by the outcome value (or payoff). Thus, it represents the average amount one "expects" as the outcome of the random trial when identical odds are repeated many times. Note that the value itself may not be expected in the general sense - the "expected value" itself may be unlikely or even impossible.
