Expense
A decrease in owner’s equity caused by the using up of assets in producing revenue or carrying out other activities that are part of the entity’s operations. Expenses are normally paid from expense budgets (such as operating budgets) as contrasted with capital expenditures which are paid from capital budgets.
Ordinary operating expenses bring a reduction in income taxes that should be considered whenever they are included in a cost of ownership or cost/ benefit analysis.
