Solution
- Definition: Semi-variable costs, often called mixed costs, include both fixed and variable components.
- Fixed Component: Part of the cost is constant, independent of production or activity.
- Variable Component: Part of the cost fluctuates according to output volume or activity level.
- Example: Utility bills frequently include a fixed base price and a variable charge based on usage.
- Behaviour: Semi-variable expenses fluctuate in total but not proportionally to changes in output or activity levels.
- Management: Understanding semi-variable costs is critical for budgeting, forecasting, and decision-making.
