The General Motors Corporation said yesterday that it would take a charge of $758 million, or $1.05 a share, in the first quarter because of the adoption of new accounting standards. Despite the charge, North American operations of the company are still expected to show a profit for 1994, said G. Richard Wagoner Jr., executive vice president and chief financial officer. The noncash charge is related to the adoption of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, which affects extended disability benefits to United States workers. Under the new standard, the cost of the benefits will be accrued during the employees' tenures at G.M. The news came after shares of G.M. closed down $1.375, at $56, on the New York Stock Exchange.
