소요되다 info.

Tips to remember the word:
• Associate “소요” with “expenditure” or “usage” (for example, the time or money you “consume”), and “되다” meaning “to become”—together they remind you that something “ends up taking” a certain amount.
• Think of situations where you say “it takes me two hours” to remember that “소요된다” expresses the amount needed.

Explanation:
• 소요되다 is used to indicate that a certain amount of time, money, or other resources is required or consumed.
