The reduction in book value of an asset at a certain percentage rate per annum.
Appreciation:
An increase in the value of an asset over its purchase price or book value.

person from which claims may be met.
Bad Debt:
A debt which is irrecoverable and is therefore written off as a loss in the accounts of a
company/bank etc.

and amount of a company's assets and liabilities on a particular date, usually the end of
the accounting year. The assets include fixed assets, investment, current assets (which

Debentures:
An instrument of debt, called bond in the US. A debenture holder is a creditor to the

the stipulated loan period the debentures are redeemed, i.e., the loan is paid back,
sometimes with a very small premium. Debentures are generally secured against the
company's assets. Convertible debentures can be either fully or partly converted into a
certain number of shares, usually at a premium, after a stated period of time. Convertible
debentures may carry a lower rate of interest than non convertible debentures investment;
there is little risk but also little prospect of appreciation.
Debt-Equity Ratio:
Also called financial Leverage ratio in the US. There are three methods of calculating this
ratio, the last being more common:
1. The total liabilities of a company divided by the shareholders' equity

The value of goods and services produced in an economy. The value may be measured by
aggregating market values of goods and services or by aggregating incomes from

values less purchase tax plus subsidies). It is equivalent to gross national product less the
value of net property abroad.
Gross National Product:
The total monetary value of all the goods and services produced by a country in a year,
expressed either at factor cost or at market prices.

National Income:
The sum of the value of goods and services available to an economy through its
economic activity in a given time period. The income many be evaluated:
1. by adding the incomes generated by economic activity, e.g., wages, salaries, dividends,
profits and net income from abroad;
2. by adding the prices of goods and services, less indirect taxes plus subsidies, together
with government expenditure. Both methods produce similar total and the movement in
the total is indicative of economic progress over time, once allowance is made for price
inflation, population growth, etc. Growth of national income need not be synonymous
with improvement in living standards
Real Interest Rate:
Current interest rate less the rate of inflation; of relevance in decision regarding long term
fixed interest securities. Since most current interest is taxed, the post tax interest is likely
to fall below double digit inflation rates, which means a steady erosion of capital.
Redemption:

preference shares redemption means paying back the investor, either in cash, or through
equity shares.
