I don't like the way they've worded the question. Costs can refer to anything paid out. The term "paid out" implies cash, and cash can be paid for expenses, assets, to pay off liabilities, etc.

If they are meaning expenses by that question, they are not teaching you accounting very well, because expenses should NOT be associated with money paid. It's already a bad pre-conceived idea everyone comes into class with, let alone having them re-enforce it! Or are you re-wording the question?
