Solution
Semi-Fixed cost
Explanation:
The post-paid mobile bill is a prime example of a semi-fixed cost because it combines fixed and variable expense components. The base rate of ₹500 is fixed and must be paid regardless of usage. Additional charges for calls are variable and grow in proportion to monthly activity levels.
