Guys, I found in most of the comments that why salary is been added expenditure right? Let me help you out as in question all the statistics given are in company's point of view. So, for a company to give (reduces the amount to the company) salaries to its employees becomes expenditure and for employee it is a gain (adds the money) for the work he/she done.

Why we add salary as it is given to find expenditure? Please explain?

The table of expenditure is given in point of company's view. So the salary is also the expenditure to the company, in the case of employee the salary is a gain but for the company it expenditure only.
