Operating expenses are those directly associated with running the business. Examples include: Staff salaries Office supplies Sales-related costs such as commissions, marketing and advertising Research and development costs Rent, utilities and insurance premiums Everyday repairs to equipment Travel expenses related to normal business activities etc.
While a non-operating expense is a cost that isn’t directly related to core business operations Examples of non-operating expenses are interest payments on debt, restructuring costs, inventory write-offs and payments to settle lawsuits.
