Usually used in describing fixed costs. We often state that fixed costs will not change as volume changes. However, if volume were to triple, there would likely be more fixed costs as the company will need more space and managers. Accordingly, we state that costs are fixed only in a relevant or reasonable range of activity.

"Thank you for being my reference book as I complete my accounting degree. I had no experience in accounting or bookkeeping before completing this degree and understandably I was in over my head! All the way over in New Zealand I came across your website, subscribed, hoping I may learn even a couple of things and have ended up using your website as my main reference tool. The quizzes, question and answer pages, the entire website is so user friendly and I know it will see me through to the completion of my degree. I can't thank you enough, please keep up the fantastic work!!!" - K. H.
