Correct answer: Revenue and expenditure
A budget sets out revenue and expenditure. The government’s proposal also shows which activities it wants to prioritise, and parliament decides the budget.

Why this option does not fit
Inkomster och tillgångar
Assets are things the state owns. Money paid out belongs under expenditure.
Skulder och utgifter
Expenditure fits money going out, but money coming in should be labelled revenue here, not liabilities.
Tillgångar och skulder
Assets and liabilities show what the state owns and owes. The diagram instead shows money coming in and going out.
