Answer
Cost
Reason — Cost is the money spent or liability incurred for acquiring goods or services. In management terminology, cost is the expenditure incurred to generate revenue — i.e., the money value of resources used to produce a product or provide a service. Profit is the excess of revenue over cost, revenue is income earned, and expenditure is a broader term that may include capital outlays unrelated to current production.
