Expenditures

Expenditures are very important from book keeping and accounting point of view. It is payment which is given by a person who gets either services or goods from other person. Suppose, Ram gets the electricity facility from state govt. electricity board. For these services, company sends him the electricity bill of Rs. 5000. This Rs. 5000 is expenditure for Ram. If Ram does not pay it on its payment date, it will become his liability.
