It is presented on an income statement after operating income. Miscellaneous expenses are immaterial and does not seem appropriate, consider opening a new account to capture the expenses.Examples (depending on each individual entity) may include travel expenses, expenses for business consultations, and appraisals to determine a casualty loss, meals.
