    Assume the cost and calculate according to the increase or decrease of percentage
    Activity level : 100
    Variable per unit : $2
    Fixed : $500
    Total : $700

    Now do another set which activity level increase by 20%
    Activity level : 120
    Variable per unit : $2
    Fixed : $500
    Total : $740

    Then find the difference in total cost in %

    semi variable cost have a fixed part and a variable part. this means semi variable costs rise more sloly than variable costs.

    therefore the costs will rise but not as fast as 20%
