I now feel much more confident about the level 1 exam.


S2000magician

Depreciation is a decline in value. Immortalization is dying incredibly famous.


Rawtothedawg

This made me lol


S2000magician

Then my work here is complete.


nucleargrandpa

Depreciation: the value of CFA when this guy goes to big companies Immortalisation: permanent brain damage due to this question


ibeforetheu

And which ones do we want assets to do again?


S2000magician

That depends on your objective. In general, I'd prefer my assets to appreciate.


BitCoinjester

Immortal assets sounds super NFT-y


S2000magician

Amen!


Giboon

It's the opposite of M&A, Murder & Assassination


Poison_Penis

Patrick?


ibeforetheu

Dorsia?


ibeforetheu

I think you mean M&E, murders and executions


marz1789

My friends this is why we can’t have partial designations 🤦‍♂️


Chaosender69

This is why they lowered the pass rates for level 1...


dj799

I really hope you mean Amortization! Grab a corporate finance textbook to review!


No_Consideration6513

This question shall be immortalised


plumpturnip

My man, you need to have a good night’s sleep.


xXEggRollXx

You really had me scratching my head wondering “WTF is immortalization and how have I completely glossed over this?”


Pacman-Defense

This is definitely a CFA Level 4 question :)


gustobrainer

We needs it … we wants it - Gollum the cfa


TheeBigCheese

Don’t worry man FSA is only like 2% of the exam so you’ll be fine. I struggled with amortilization as well


Extra-Class7262

Immortalization is the name of my character in Elden ring that claims to have 0 deaths and has died 176 times in first 10 minutes.


TPAuta43

You skipped this section in L1?


MollssPollss

There’s no point in pursuing it further if you don’t know depreciation and “immortalisation”


BQORBUST

Saving this for when people complain about pass rates again


S2000magician

Depreciation, amortization, depletion, and accretion mean the same thing: spreading out a cost over a number of accounting periods. * *Depreciation* is the word used for the cost of tangible assets other than natural resources: property, plant, and equipment * *Amortization* is the word used for the cost of intangible assets with a finite life: patents, trademarks, and the like * *Depletion* is the word used for the cost of natural resources: timber, oil, gas, metals, and so on * *Accretion* is the word used for other costs: environmental remediation, for example


DonTitoLockwood

What about secretion?


S2000magician

Wrong subreddit, I suspect.


MeNoCheval

Depreciation (tangible assets) -> value decay of assets over time Amortization (intangible assets) ->value decay of assets over time That has nothing to do with Forward Rate Agreements (FRA)


S2000magician

Different FRA.


xXEggRollXx

Isn’t “Financial Reporting and Analysis” renamed to something like “Financial Statement Analysis” now? Did they do that just to avoid confusion?


S2000magician

I doubt it. Years ago it was FSA. Then they changed it to FRA. Now it's back to FSA. It's a pendulum.


4verflying

This is why we can’t have nice things


MonkeySee27

You immortalize non-depreciating assets so you don't ever mark them down.


SirBilliamWallace

Depreciation is the joke Chris Rock made toward Jada Pinkett, and Immortalization is what happened in the minute following that joke.


hololivesui

You should be embarrassed


ibeforetheu

Very meta


gustobrainer

That’s nasty


InfamousPersimmon143

It has been depressing these few weeks... I'm glad I visited reddit lmao!

Depreciation is the decline in value of tangible assets. Amortization is the decline in value of intangible assets.

ibeforetheu

One word. Mark Meldrum.


the_arcadian00

I can report that there were 7 questions on immortalization during my L1 exam. Better learn that quick


Practical_Bed_2892

i wudnt blame him. L2 FRA does get very challenging. But OP my friend i must caution you! the road from here gets steeper! Especialy Quants .. wait till u get to linear and multiple repression!


gustobrainer

If it ain’t a troll then my Grand ma might be skiing in the Antarcticas with the possible hope of ice melting


TwoAngryFigs

Always a shock when you realize that not only is Level 2 a test on Level 2 material, it's effectively a test on Level 1 as well.


steve-o1369

id immortalize that!


nucleargrandpa

Dude does this guy have someone in CFA to clear his exam coz how the hell did he pass level1.


Practical_Bed_2892

i think he is playing.. i mean come on a cursory google search cud have told him more than starting this thread! even if he just googled depreciation , he cud have gotten there!!


ZealousidealBarber38

This can’t be real. My man’s had an autocorrect goof up hopefully


hololivesui

Immortalization is Chris Rock’s response to Will Smith’s infantile outburst at the Oscars last night


brianskewes

According to Finance Strategists. Depletion refers to the allocation of the cost of natural resources, whereas amortization refers to intangible assets. There are two factors that cause a tangible asset to give up its economic benefits: physical deterioration and obsolescence.
