Everything about Operating expense
Ongoing cost for running a product, business, or system
An operating expense (OpEx) is an ongoing cost for running a product, business, or system. Its counterpart, a capital expenditure (CapEx), is the cost of developing or providing non-consumable parts for the product or system. For example, the purchase of a photocopier involves capex, and the annual paper, toner, power and maintenance costs represents opex. For larger systems like businesses, opex may also include the cost of workers and facility expenses such as rent and utilities. Wikipedia →
