Cisco Customer Success Manager (DTCSM) — Question 7

Which expense is an operating expense (OPEX)?

Answer options

• A. payroll
• B. computer equipment
• C. software
• D. office improvements

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Payroll is considered an operating expense (OPEX) because it is a recurring cost associated with the day-to-day operations of a business. In contrast, computer equipment, software, and office improvements are typically classified as capital expenditures since they involve one-time investments in resources that provide long-term value.
