पर्याय

• Fixed Cost

• Variable Cost

• Semi-variable Cost

• Direct material

Answer 1

Semi-variable Cost

Explanation:

The image shows an electricity bill and an electricity meter. Electricity charges usually consist of:

• A fixed charge (paid every month regardless of usage), and
• A variable charge (based on the number of units consumed).

Therefore, electricity cost is a semi-variable (mixed) cost because it contains both fixed and variable elements.
