For the purpose of accounting, there are three types of expenditure. These are Capital Expenditure, Revenue Expenditure, and Deferred Revenue Expenditure.
Capital Expenditure is the amount incurred in acquiring long term assets like land, buildings, equipments (which are used for the purpose of earning revenues). These costs are reflected in the account of Property, Plant and Equipment.
Revenue Expenditure is cost incurred in one accounting year wherein the benefits are also enjoyed in the same period only. It does not increase the earning capacity of the business, instead, it maintains the existing earning capacity of said business. This expenditure is recurring in nature like salaries and wages, selling and distribution expenses.
Deferred Revenue Expenditure is a revenue Expenditure which has been incurred within the current accounting year but its benefit will be extended to a number of years. This cost is charged to the Profit and Loss account. Example of this is advertising cost.

= $200,000
We simply first compute the net cash sales after considering the returns and allowances, and net credit sales after considering the discounts, and deduct the ending balance of account receivable
