SGA costs

Explanation: Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Costs represent the expenses incurred by a company in its day-to-day operations, excluding costs directly associated with production or manufacturing. These costs encompass a broad range of activities essential for running the business, including sales and marketing expenses, administrative overhead, salaries, rent, utilities, and other general operating expenses. SG&A costs are necessary for supporting core business functions, managing operations, and facilitating growth.

Example: Maruti Suzuki reported SG&A costs of 2,140.60 crore rupees in FY23, reflecting the expenditures incurred by the company in sales, marketing, administrative, and other operational activities. These costs play a vital role in Maruti Suzuki’s business operations, supporting functions such as sales promotions, administrative management, employee salaries, and office expenses. Analyzing SG&A costs helps evaluate the efficiency of Maruti Suzuki’s operating expenses and its ability to manage overhead while sustaining profitability and competitiveness in the automotive industry.
