    Answer: Costs of items used up this period but paid for next period

    Explanation:

    Period Expenses for the period are transactions that should be expensed because they were used in the current period.

    Therefore if a period cost is not used in the period, it is not considered a period cost even if the company pays for it in the current period which also means that if a period cost for the period is not paid in the current period but in the next one, it is still a period cost for the current period.

    From the above therefore, the period cost is the cost of items used up in this period but paid for in the next one.

    The land purchased might look like the obvious choice but it is not because Assets are capitalised and not expensed.
