- Definition The amortization method of a major finite-lived intangible asset class. A major class is composed of intangible assets that can be grouped together because they are similar either by their nature or by their use in the operations of a company. The straight-line method is the preferred amortization method, unless another method better reflects the pattern in which the asset is consumed. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 350 -SubTopic 30 -Section 35 -Paragraph 6 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=121554622&loc=d3e15372-109273 + Details
