capex = capital expenditure; opex = operational expenditure.

There's some theorem about investments that says it doesn't matter how they are financed. A good one is good, and a bad one is bad, whether or not you use debt.



I'll bet you I can find a way to finance a good deal that turns it into a bad one. The other way around seems harder.

If you have spherical banks in a vacuum, you can simply follow "capital_opex = capex * interest_rate" and then "profit = revenue - total_opex".

But things tend to not work that way on practice.
