Direct expenses are directly related to the production of the product sold or service rendered, they may differ for different types of companies. Examples of Direct Expenses

  • Wages
  • Factory rent
  • Cost of raw material
  • Premises renting
  • Fuel
  • Carriage inward

Unlike direct, indirect expenses are not directly related and assigned to the core business operations of a firm. Indirect expenses are necessary to keep the business up and running, but they can’t be directly related to the cost of the core revenue-generating products or services.

Just like direct expenses, indirect expenses can also be different for different types of organisations. These are usually shared costs among different departments/segments within the firm. 

Examples of Indirect Expenses

 

  • Salaries
  • Telephone bills
  • Printing & stationery
  • Legal & Accounting charges
  • Carriage outwards
