Qualitative analysis uses subjective judgment based on "soft" or non-quantifiable data.
Qualitative analysis deals with intangible and inexact information that can be difficult to collect and measure. Machines struggle to conduct qualitative analysis as intangibles can't be defined by numeric values.
There are two types of expenses
Capital expense
A capital expense (CapEx), on the other hand, is incurred to create a
benefit in the future. They are long-term in nature and are generally used to acquire things like property, equipment, and technology.
Revenue expense
Revenue expenditures are short-term expenses used in the current period or
typically within one year. Revenue expenditures include the expenses required to meet the ongoing operational costs of running a business, and thus are essentially the same as operating expenses (OPEX).
An operating expense (OpEx) is an expense required for the day-to-
day functioning of a business. This means a business incurs an operating expense on a recurring basis. Operating expenses include things like insurance, payroll, and marketing.
