Answer / madhav mishra

Direct Expenses: Direct expenses are those expenses that are paid only for the business part of your home. For example, if you pay for painting or repairs only in the area used for business, this would be a direct expense.

Indirect Expenses: Indirect Expenses are those expenses that are paid for keeping up and running your entire home. Examples of indirect expenses generally include insurance, utilities, and general home repairs. Since these are expenses you would pay for the entire home, these are considered indirect expenses.

Note: If you paid one of these separately and specifically for the part of your home you are using for business, these could be considered "direct expenses". For example, if you paid separate utilities that were specifically for your home office, this could be considered a direct expense. If any part of that bill included utilities for the whole house, though, that would be an indirect expense.

What is the difference between Direct expenses and Indirect expenses?..

Answer / pawandeep singh

Direct costs are those for activities or services that
benefit specific projects, e.g., salaries for project staff
and materials required for a particular project. Because
these activities are easily traced to projects, their costs
are usually charged to projects on an item-by-item basis.

Indirect costs are those for activities or services that
benefit more than one project. Their precise benefits to a
specific project are often difficult or impossible to trace.
For example, it may be difficult to determine precisely how
the activities of the director of an organization benefit a
specific project. Indirect costs do not vary substantially
within certain production volumes or other indicators of
activity, and so are considered to be fixed costs.
