Expenditures, outlays (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

costs

I believe this is a double definition.

'expenditures' is the first definition.
(cost is a kind of expenditure)

'outlays' is the second definition.
(cost is a kind of outlay)

(Other definitions for costs that I've seen before include "Charges" , "Damages" , "prices" , "is expensive" , "Is priced at" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
