      Which of the following is an example of a semi-variable

      cost?  
      A Factory building rent paid on monthly basis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Electricity bill of minimum connection charge plus usage-based charges Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      E Supervisor’s monthly salary paid as per the stated CTC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A semi-variable cost has both a fixed and a variable component.    The minimum  connection  charge for the electricity bill is the fixed portion, while the charge based on consumption is the variable portion.  T herefore, it changes partly with activity level and partly remains constant  making it a  semi-variable cost.     Note –  

      • Rent  cost is  fixed  
      • Direct material   is  variable  
      • Salary)  is  fixed  cost  
      • Commission per unit  is a variable cost
