Question No. 16: What type of lighting does the dwelling have?
The objective of this question is to know the source mostly used by persons in the dwelling for lighting.
Mark only one circle according to the answer of the respondent.

b. Electricity from the community (circle 02):

Amount of monthly electricity payment:
For those who marked circles 01 or 02 ask: how much do you usually pay every month? Put a "0" before when the value of the monthly payment is less than B/. 1,000.
This refers to the amount of money (in balboas) that regularly, is paid every month for the electricity service in the dwelling.
If the respondent declares that she does not pay for the public electricity or community electricity service mark "9997". Example: She has not signed a contract with the distribution company, the dwelling has an informal connection [conexión bruja or telaraña], etc.
If the respondent declares that they do not pay any amount, since it is include in the rent payment, mark "9998".
Remember that the value is registered in round numbers, without decimals; if the person declares a value including decimal numbers, proceed in the following manner: if those are equal or higher than 0.5 you must round up. Example:
a) Regular monthly payment for electricity: B/. 17.55. Register: B/. 18.
b) Regular monthly payment for electricity: B/ 32.08.
If the fractional part is less than 0.5, this must be omitted [round down]. For example, register B/. 32.
