Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Indirect costs are costs that are incurred for more than one project or an organization's overhead. Therefore, the internet for the office is an example of an indirect cost. Every other option, the salaries for the team members, the wood for the project, and the pizza for the project team's celebration, are all examples of direct costs as they are strictly for your project.Discussion
