for which the material is used
It seems more likely that amortizar is being used in the sense of being used up.
"account will be taken of the number of applications for which the material will be used to calculate material costs."
i.e. it is the rate at which it is being used up that will determine the cost of materials.
"account will be taken of the number of applications for which the material will be used to calculate material costs."
