Compute the total general and administrative expenses to be reported on the general and administrative expense budget per month.

Answer 1

Answer:Total general and administrative expenses budget per month =$10,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Total general and administrative expenses are the compulsory costs to ensure that a company's day to day operations is maintained whether or not the company is making profit.

General and administrative expenses includes Rent, Utility bills, insurance wages and benefits, depreciation of office furnitures, Office supplies and are regarded as operating expenses and therefore interest paid on a bank loan is not an operating expenses but a financing activities and will not be considered as an administrative expense.

Administrative expenses= administrative Salaries+Other cash administrative expenses+Depreciation

=$5,600+$3,000+$1,650

=$10,250
