2. The appropriate amount, the said amount? Use appropriate if there are options to choose, use said when there is a specific amount already calculated
5. ‘Cost’ isn’t authentic either (?) At your own cost or At your own expense mean slightly different things to Accountants but are often used interchangeably by most people, which is perfectly fine.
