A semi-fixed cost is fixed over a given, small range of activity, and above that level of activity, the cost
suddenly jumps. It stays fixed again for a while at the higher range of activity, and when the activity moves
out of that range, it jumps again. A semi-fixed cost moves upward in a step fashion, staying at a certain level
over a small range and then moving to the next level quickly. All fixed costs behave this way, and a wholly
fixed cost is also fixed only as long as activity remains within the relevant range. However, a semi-fixed cost
is fixed over a smaller range than the relevant range of a wholly fixed cost. An example of a semi-fixed cost is
the nursing staff in a hospital. If the hospital needs one nurse for every 25 patients, then each time the
patient load increases by 25 patients, one additional nurse will be hired and total nursing salaries will jump by
the additional nurse's salary. That is in contrast to administrative staff salaries at the same hospital, which
might remain fixed until the patient load increases by 250 patients, at which point an additional admitting
clerk would be needed. The administrative staff salaries are wholly fixed costs (over the relevant range),
whereas the nursing staff salaries are semi-fixed costs.
