16 October 2008 If the number of units the die can produce will take place in more than one year, the wtite off of the cost of die will also be in more than one year.

After arriving at the quantum of amortisation calculated as a proportion of cost in the ratio of actual production relation to the life in terms of quantity, the entry will be as under:

Amortisation of die
To die

The amortisation will go to P&L as expenditure. The balance sheet will show the Written down cost of die after removing the amortisation amount from cost.
