What are some examples of indirect costs?

Answer 1

I buy 2 crates of oranges and sell them on the corner. a couple each day..

At night I drive home and put them in the fridge to keep them fresh.

indirect costs: the fridge I bought for the oranges, the electricity to run it.. maybe even the gas to drive to the corner and home.

All of these are indirect costs in bringing the oranges from the market to the consumer...

Oh yeah.. that one I ate when I got hungry.. its either an indirect cost (or possibly a profit taken).
