Hi all,
I am wondering for the COST structure, under what circumstance we use "Fix cost + Variable cost", and what circumstance "Capex + Opex" ?
Thanks !!

You have to look at both! Depending on the context, most strategic problems require investments (Capex) which need to be recouped by operational profits (Revenue - Opex). The Operational Costs (Opex) then can be disaggregated either by fixed & variable costs, or along the value chain, or both (like a matrix). What makes sense in the particular situation is mainly governed by the kind of data available.
Cheers, Sidi
