Answer 1

Hint: Here, in the given question, we are asked to find the total overhead expenses when Dolly buys a laptop from a wholesaler and incur some other expenses. To reach the desired result, we will first understand the meaning of overhead expenses and then calculate the expenses incurred.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Overhead cost: It refers to the on-going business expenses not directly attributed to creating a product or service. In short, overhead cost is any expense incurred to support the business while not being directly related to a specific product or service.
Overhead charge is the sum total of on-going business expenses like rent, utilities, insurance, office supplies, travel, advertising expenses, accounting and legal expenses, salaries and wages, depreciation, Government fees and licenses, property taxes.
In this question overhead charge is transportation’s cost, delivery charge and man load.
Overhead charge= Transportation’s cost+ delivery charge+ load man and other charge.
Therefore, Overhead charge= \[2,000 + 1,400 + 1,300\]
=₨.\[4,700\]
Hence, B. ₨.\[4,700\] is correct option.
