Expenditure

The total amount spent by a business to acquire assets, goods, or services. It includes both capital expenditures (long-term investments) and operating expenses (day-to-day costs). Unlike expenses, which are recognized on the income statement, expenditures may appear as assets if they benefit future periods.
