Costco Wholesale Corporation General and Administrative Expenses 2011-2026 | COST
General and Administrative Expenses — these are a part of a company's operating expenses that are not directly related to the production of goods or the provision of services but are necessary for the overall functioning of the business.What these expenses include
- Salaries of administrative staff (executives, HR, accountants, legal personnel)
- Office rent and utilities
- Office equipment and IT infrastructure
- Professional services (auditors, lawyers, consultants)
- Insurance
- General administrative travel and representation expenses
- Cost control
A high level of such expenses may indicate inefficient management or an overly complex structure - Profitability
